Tap at One’s Brewery, Osaka. Poured a slightly hazy amber colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, yeasty, light fruit, floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a malt, yeasty, floral, light medicinal hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. This one was not at its best.

Pours amber, some light foam on top. Kind of clear look. Nose is super malty and sweet, grainy, caramel. Sweet malty presence with a touch of bitterness. Light bitter linger in the finish, Not terrible.

Bottle from Hasegawa. Deep, cloudy brown^amber, low thick head. Nose is caramel / toffee, grass, earth. Butterscotch could be diacetyl. Not sure. Sweet and creamy, butterscotch. Not too much, but the sweet, creamy character is dominant. Bitter, earthy hops, slightly spicy. A bit peppery. Too much sweet toffee for me, more like an old-school English brown. Not terrible, but needs work.

Tap at Molto. A hazy copper with a thick beige head and a Biscuity rye caramel aroma with a hint of fruit. Medium bodied it’s got a silky smooth mouthfeel. The taste is surprisingly malt forward with rye breadiness, eggy yeast and dark fruit cake notes. Pretty good.
