Kveldens andre japanske boksøl på Mandag i annen denne nydelige maikvelden: nydelig aroma og flott utseende, enda et bevis på at boks også er en fornuftig emballasje for øl. Mye aroma men forsiktig bitterhet, her har de vært generøse med aromahumlen. Litt karamellsødme, men uten den humlefriske bitterheten jeg forbinder med en god am. pale ale. Kort ettersmak. Konsumeringslett.

350 ml can, ABV 5.5%, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Deep golden to amber colour, moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of fruity hops, loads of exotic and tropical fruits. Refreshing flavour, not too sweet, not too dry. Moderate malts and plenty of fruity hops, but the bitterness is still very moderate. Again notes of exotic fruits. Easy drinking. Another potential "summer hit" from Japan.

ładny, ale dość słaby zapach cytrusów i żywicy. bursztynowy kolor, lekko zmętnione, dość trwała piana. w smaku pełne, lekko karmelowe, ze średnią, grapefruitową goryczką.

33 cl can @ home, BBE 14/2014 (20.04.2014 according to sticker)
Also some other marking on can bottom: 140127
Aroma is a bit odd with vegetables, some grain and butter. Flavour has buttery tones, some grainy malt and hints of peas. Harsh and lager-like, too low on hops to be an APA. I won’t be having one after this night.

Cask @ Beer Belly, Osaka as ”Yona Yona Real Ale”. Rated on 12.09.2011
Very light aroma, slightly sweaty and stale with some hops. Also some sweet malt when it warms up. Very smooth palate. Flavour is bitterish, light and somewhat sweet with some harsh malt and berries. Rather rich for a real ale, but the berries ruin the show.

Hazy amber color, small white head dissapears quickly. Smell is floral, caramel and hops. Medium carbonation. Taste is fruity, caramel, sweetness, hops, even some dark chocolate bitterness and hints of spices(?). Overall: pleasant surprise, really interesting taste.

12 oz can (from Maruetsu supermarket, Nakano, Tokyo). Light amber to orange color, a bit hazy. White head (not much). Aroma’s: malty sweet, fragrant aromatic hops with a little fruit (confit) retronasal. Flavor is moderate sweet with a starting bitterness. Light bodied but not thin. Finishes with a delicate bitterness and some grain. Certainly decent.

Can from Ales and Lagers, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is weak malt and hops. The flavour is high medium bitter, hoppy, with some malt on the palate and some lingering bitterness in the finish. It was fine to drink, but I don’t like is as much as some of my fellow raters.
