Bottle @ America Strikes Back, Ulfborg. Pours hazy rich amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and fruit, with notes of hops and yeast. Sweetish flavour of malt and fruit bubblegum, with notes of yeast and sparse hoppy touches. Sourish aftertaste. So-so.

On tap at the Iwate-ken event near Umeda Station. Great color on this one a deep amber almost ruby with an off-white head. Fruity nose with hints of caramel. Smooth medium body, taste is fruity, caramel, candy & a nutty vibe in the finish. Overall pretty good, somewhat sweeter than I am used to in a red ale but nice.

Medium offwhite lasting head. Hazy opaque deep dark brown body. Sickly fruity banana aroma with roasty malty notes. Dry strawberry taste with malty notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish strawberry and earth aftertaste with roasty notes. Not really very nice. Too much strawberry, as if they’ve lost control of the yeast. (0.35l draft at brewpub.)

From the hand pump during Real Ale Month at Beer Cafe Barley in Nishinomiya. Nice amber color. Hoppy aroma with medium caramel malts, and a bit of chocolate and bubble gum. Flavor profile similar. Dry chocolate / caramel finish. Decent balance overall, nice drinking, but not very interesting and gets a bit boring through the pint.

@ GJBF 2007. Pours reddish copper. Light aroma, slightly roasted, frutiy, and mild hops. Flavor is nice, though weak. Citrus hops, caramel malts, toasted, and light fruits. It isn’t bad at all, but it needs more flavor and definitly more aroma. Iwate Kura is usually better than this.

Mahogany red color with almost no nose. Malty body with caramel and raspberries, but very unbalanced. Dry boring finish. Pretty lame from a brewery that does decent stuff.
