Hideji Celebration Brew Kotohogi Red Lager 7% I got this to celebrate the new year, a beer made with Azuki beans! Then I was out of town and forgot about it but here we go. A red-amber brown with a thick light beige and long-lasting head of foam. The aroma is fragrant perfumy floral almost with sweet caramel notes. Full bodied and velvety smooth the taste is bitter caramel up front a floral hop bite in the finish and sweet caramel in the aftertaste. Quite nice.
