Complex sake like flavors with malt sweet notes. Hints of strawberries in the nose and palate. An intriguing mix of sake, malt , and bitter notes in the finish.

hazy dark ornge colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of honey and herbal notes, caramel and some berries; taste is dominated by unbalnced malty sweetness with honey and herbal notes; drinkable, but will not be my favourite

Bottle. Pours slightly dark amber with suspended particles inside, small white foamy head, grassy aroma, low carbonation, it really tastes like rice wine with an abrupt tart finish. It’s a strange beer, but not bad.

Hazy bronze colour with a thick creamy head of foam. A grassy hop smell. Taste is of grain and a nondescript bitterness that does remind me of grass but more of an earthiness going on. Silky smooth mouthfeel. Good.

Pours a hazy golden orange from the bottle with white head that leaves good lace. Aroma is soy, rice, nuts, caramel, and odd maltiness. Taste follows the same vein. It’s decent on it’s own, but a perfect match with Swedish Västerbotten-cheese. Who would’ve thought?
