Konishi Yosano Gold 6%

Made with locally grown (Kyoto) hops, this golden brew has a fruity herbal aroma and a fluffy white head, I even get a touch of bubblegum. The taste is surprisingly dry and the crackery malts are complemented with bubblegum, banana and minty herbal hops similar to spicy Saaz but somewhat more potent. Very fresh and refreshing though I’d down this faster if it was a tad more sessionable. Really good.
