Nagahama Hop Wave Pils 5% 370¥ from Liquor Mountain so about 50¥ pricier than the Unfilteredaster’s Dream. Deep gold with a good 2 of foam that leave behind a film over the surface of the beer. There are some sweet fruity & candyish hop notes, some bitting herbal hops but also a skunky earthy quality hiding underneath which I don’t care for so much. Pretty full bodied with a sharp carbonation and a somewhat slick mouthfeel in the finish. The taste is a bit bitter lime/lemon, some herbal bitterness, soda bread, sweet tarts and an ashy herbal but yet soapy character. Pretty meh. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
