RBJG2. Late night drunken rating. Got my numbers and not much else apart from what follows. Aroma bit banana wheaty bit of bitterness. Taste is nice and soft, bit sweet, pretty good. 8 3 0 3 15 Re-rated at Keyaki festival. Sounds like a different beer... Amber bit cloudy. Aroma is sour plum. Taste is good, nice sourness, fruity, slight spritziness. Pretty interesting. Peach or plum, not sure. Nice. Strangely different, but this is what we asked for and this is what they told us it was.

100% organic Hefe beer. Different and much more expensive than the regular hef. Creamy white head, clovely wheat nose. The mouth is super smooth - dried fruit, plantain, a touch of ginger. Very quaffable. I love the regular hef, but this might be half a step up.

Tap at 1020. Pale gold color, very cloudy, with lace. Grainy, citrus nose, lemon, spice, light esters. Not typical weizen. Tart, tangy flavor, lemony, with a very grain-bitter, husky finish. Oily. I appreciate their attempt to brew with their own malts, but this is not yet up to par at all. Pales in comparison to Zakkoku weizen.
