St.Bernardus Tokyo Sounds familiar? You are quite right, because in 2012 we launched a one-off brew on the occasion of the opening of the first St.Bernardus-themed café in the Japanese capital. Eight years later, you can sample our St.Bernardus Tokyo again, albeit with a new recipe!
The young Belgian illustrator Jonas Devacht created the artwork for the can, which consists of an impression of Japanese nightlife in the iconic streets of Kanda district, where you can find ‘Brasserie St.Bernardus’.
St.Bernardus Tokyo is an unfiltered ale, which has been brewed with a large amount of wheat, holding the middle between a white beer and a saison.
Character, taste, aromas
St.Bernardus Tokyo is famed for its hints of citrus, combined with likeable florals of chamomile and fruity yeast aromas of banana and red apple. Attentive beer fans may also detect a hint of clove and vanilla, as well as the typical esters of our unique St.Bernardus yeast. A refreshing beer with a spicy aroma and a slight hint of bitterness and sourness on the back of the palate! A real treat for the more adventurous beer fan.

Can, drunk at home with pinsa. Paler orange with moderate head. Light nose of mild yeast, banana. Smooth creamy flavor, lightly mandarine citrusy-sour. Tokyo is a great name for this delicate but refined beer, quite a tasty Wit.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-cloudy yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet wheat, some floral tones, mixed apples, subtle banana, light clove notes, subtle bubblegum, light Belgian yeasty spicy notes and bready tones
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a good sweet to spicy and slightly herbal quality; finishes with the banana, subtle bubblegum with the sturdy Belgian yeasty spices and light floral sweet to semi-herbal
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; some creamy smoothness along the tongue with just enough dry spicy tones from the clove to scale down the smoothness
Overall: another great witbier worthy of coming back to.

Аромат очень сильный, и прежде всего специй тонна. И кориандр и как будто даже гвоздика, много в целом травянистости, пшеницы почти нету так таковой, дрожжей почти нету. Цвет очень густой и жирный по текстуре, пенка средняя. Вкус собственно такой же, очень травянистый и не в меру горький местами при глотке. Дрожжи есть но непонятные снова. Пшеница появляется, очень жирное послевкусие, но все таки травы на первом месте. В целом норм пиво, но не лучший вит.
