Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles' place. Thanks Stas. Cloudy yellow, white head. Very soapy brett, minerals, yeast, wood, rather dry, slightly sourish, bitter finish, flowers, over-carbonated. Weird.

Usually their beers are quite good, but, well, only so much you can do with a pilsner. No wonder it's their one beer in the supermarket.

At a Japanese restaurant: pours black with a beige head. Aroma is light chocolate, minerals, roasty. Somewhat sweet. Low level of bitterness. Oyster shells shine through. Was quite solid and pleasant with my meal.

This poured a milky honey gold but with some floaters which was off-putting. It had an off-white beige head that dissipated fast. Spicy clove and Yuzu aroma. The taste is spice, Koji, rice and Yuzu but dry Soda-bread too. Decent flavor. The sake type it most reminds me of is a sparkling nigorizake.

Tap at Japan Brewer's Cup 2018. Still had a bit of a cold, so my palate may not have been quite right. This is an IPA with pickled cherry leaves added. Nose is sakuramochi--cherry leaves. Glowing orange, clear. Flavor is cherry, some rich caramel malt, lemon, rather tannic, rough finish from the leaves.

Bottle, as Takata Ringo Ale, from the brewery via Furusato Nozei. Apple nose, more like fresh US apple cider, with some skin, caramel, dark malts. Cloudy dark brown with a low, thick head and low carbonation. Looks like unfermented apple cider from NYS. Dry flavor, apples, chocolate, caramel, treacle. Very different to most apple beers. There is a rich UK dark beer as the base, and it works very well with the apple flavor. Kind of reminds me of a caramel apple. Very tasty.
