Bottle picked up at Tokyo Station’s Liquor Hasegawa. Drunk at home from a pint glass. I bought it for about 470 yen to finish off trying all 4 of their beers as they’d been sold out when I went to the brewery. A very clear light copper pour with a foamy head that lingers for quite a while. Buttery fruity caramel in the nose. Medium bodied with a smooth enough mouthfeel. The taste is obviously butterscotch, some grains, a bit of fruitiness and a slight ascerbic lightly bitter finish. This wasn’t bought at the source and tastes the worst of the three - like it has gone off though it says best by July 3rd, 2014. Drinkable but I’d rather not. Diacetyl is quite prominent.
