On tap at the brewery, airport location. Pours clear light golden with a medium sized white head, good lacing. Straw, dough, grains. Light, but full of flavor. Very good lager.

Helios Mellow Breeze Hoppy Weizen 5% Picked up on sale for 300¥ though the regular price is also under 500¥. Matte gold with a thick dense, creamy looking white foam. Mild fruity hop notes with underlying spicy wheat. The beer has a medium body and a sweet tart candy citrus like hop flavor as well as spicy clove and wheat notes. Not bad, it’d be good on a hot summer day.

Bottle. Quite hazy gold with a low head. Lemony, grainy nose, biscuits, some corn maybe. Sweet and fruity flavor, grainy, lemony. Nowhere near a traditional kolsch. Generally quite lame but not off.

Bottle share: pours amber with white head. Aroma is caramel; metal, and grain. Taste is lightly bitter with some mild sweetness.

Keyaki. Enjoyed this one. Doughy, sweet, cake like, butter, toffee, nice. Fruity, strawberry. Not sure all of these were supposed to be there, but this was a surprise hit for me.

Can. Aroma has the sheequarsar (however you want to spell it), sweets, seems a bit artificial or maybe even plastic like. Taste is nice enough, lots of citrus, definitely like a soft drink, little bit of a burpy feeling even though it's not that fizzy. Finish is more fruity and maybe shows something more beer-like. Coats the teeth a bit.

Can at home. Very pale watery yellow colour. Thin white bubbly head that fades quite quickly. Aroma is grainy with a touch is something spicy and vegetable like. Some malty sweetness too. Taste is similar, couldn't identify it as goya but there is definitely a vegetable taste, quite earthy and peppery. Little bit of lemon and grain there too but overwhelmingly vegetal. Finish is mildly bitter. An interesting concept and fairly easy to drink, but not sure I want it again.

dirty brown color. Way over the top in rum. Malty. Just over the top. Soft mouth feel. Barrel is soft but alcohol is pounding. These guys don't know what beer to use to barrel age beer.
