Tap at iBrew Shinbashi. Made with sweet potatoes. Purple red colour, small pink head. Aroma is weak, in fact, almost nothing there. Taste is alright, bit fruity even. Bit of berry sweetness, or maybe cherry, not much vegetables. Quite thin, but that's probably the point. Refreshing if a little uninspiring.

On tap at Bungalow as Crimson Lager which is what it was listed as at the GJBF maybe add that as an alternate? 5.5%, part of the Miyazaki no Mori series along with hyuganatsu & kinkan. This one is made with murasaki imo(sweet potato). It pours a luscious reddish purple, somewhat kool-aidesque. A sweet earthy fruity aroma. The taste is rough, artificial, sweet grape skins, chalky, a bit of a red wine type of tannic bitterness in the finish. Possibly also a bit of cardboard in the flavor as well. Not terrible per se but sub-par for sure.

Tap at Craft Man. Pretty deep red with a low head. Fruity nose, apples, oranges, not potatoes, tangy. Very sweet and tangy flavor, orange, very fruity, weird. Not enough tartness, so that it is a bit irritating. Sweet. Think and light. Don’t really dig it.
