On tap at Craft Beer Holiday. Konishi Citras  A very very pale gold with a filmy white head. A very lemony aroma with wheat cake maltiness. The taste is a candyish lemon, almost like a lemon alcopop. Nice enough.

330 ml bottle from Seijo Ishii @ Todoroki, Tokyo. Does not say "Shirayuki" on the bottle but only on my receipt - so probably this is the same drink. Limited summer edition, 4,5% alcohol, several different fruits listed as ingredients. Pours very pale, white, even too white fizzy foam that leaves soon, leaving some nice lacing on the glass. Carbonation not too bad, some bubbles rising to the top even several minutes after the pour. Aroma is citrus candy, orange peel and pineapple, lemonade - no hops, almost no malt. Grapefruit dominates the taste, leaving some bready malt notes lingering in the aftertaste. I guess that’s the only place you can understand this is actually beer. OK, also the foam tasted a bit of grains. Otherwise this drink reminds me mainly some "innovative" beer cocktails from home - something that is fine to try once to understand this is not really a beer.
