Part of a set of 4 Sky Tree Branded Beers: Spring Tree (grape 7%), Fall Tree (blueberry 5%) Summer Tree 5% & Winter Tree a 5% schwarzbier. I am not adding those I didn’t have as it is quite possible there are many alternates of them just with different kinds of labels. Bottle, 540 yen at Liquor Hasegawa - Solamachi branch. A decent looking clear gold pour but the head was thin fizzy & vanished fast. A sour fruity aroma, not really a pilsner as I was told. I will charitably call it a golden ale. The body is ok but the taste is sour & strangely ashey - it tastes like someone is smoking near me but I am sitting outside by the sky tree with no smokers in sight. So taste: sour fruit, ash, a bit of a tang, just wtf? Bizarre. Drain pour.
