Bottle from Hasegawa. Fresh hop vesion. Muddy red brown colour with hardly any head. Aroma is saucy, bit of chocolate, malt, quite stinky. Some booziness in the background. Maybe something BBQ like, meaty and saucy. Taste is less interesting, but quite nice still, initial malty sweetness, bit of chocolate, caramel, slight bitterness too, but buried. Body is quite thin, had this with the other fresh hop shiga kogen I had. Hint of fruitiness in there, berries maybe, but mostly sweet. Not sickly though. Better than I thought it was going to be.

Pours murky brown, bit dirty and not really with much carbonation to speak of. Nutty brown ale caramel nose, this one has also decent hops and some fruit aromas. Taste has this creamy caramel candy flavour with some additional herbal hoppy edge. Nice hop character overall, dry and quite long lingering finish. Actually enjoying this one more than I thought I would.

Draft at Bungalow’s 1st Anniversary Shiga Kogen Tap Takeover event. 500 yen, 4.5% I had this a long time ago in bottles & really enjoyed it. Let’s see how this draft batch is. Possibly wet hopped as it is marked HARVEST BREW. It pours a dark ruby brown with an off white head of foam. The aroma is citrus, pine & caramel. A nice floral type of bouquet. Nice full body, but undercarbonated again. Fruity, malty sweet with good lemon notes with a piney finish & a malty aftertaste. Yup, I still like it!

Draft at Paradiso Dupont. Cloudy brown color, massive tan ice cream cone head. Aroma of spiced caramel and butterscotch. Taste of Christmas fruitcake, but in a good way.

On tap at Birch & Barley in October 2011. Slightly hazy amber with a large fluffy head. Mild aroma and taste of bread, some fruit, caramel and something that reminded of chocolate. Very easy to drink.
