Keyaki. Aroma is rice, bit of booze. Taste has sweetness, wheaty, nice. Maybe the sake is a bit disconcerting for me as I've had some bad sake hangovers.

Hazy orange, bit of foam on top. Aroma is quite unusual for the beer, slightly smoky, sake feel to it as well. taste is fruity, nice sake rice. Feels somewhat stronger, berries and quite clean finish. Slight sourness in the end, dry, not really a long linger there.

Draft - Fruity esters. Good clear gold with a decent white head. Fruity esters and a dry finish. Very yeasty.

This should be called Aqula Akita Ginjo (named for the sake). On tap at Watering Hole. Hazy gold with almost no head. Belgian saison yeast like nose with some koji and sake notes. Soft carbonation with a sweet but funky nuance to it...like fermented rice. Clean and easy to drink. Wish there was a bit more carbonation though, still a nice original effort from Aqula. --- Beer merged from original tick of Akita Ginjo Beer on 18 Apr 2016 at 19:22 - Score: 7. Original review text: Nice sake and saison yeast nose. Slightly sweet on the palate with nice koji notes. Clean and easy to drink. Soft carbonation. Tasty.

hazy golden, dry fruity, lychee nose with melon. A bit of Popcorn. Light bitter finish. Mouth is not as great, as the nose.
