Bottle, at bottle share, thanks to Ryan. Pours murky brown. Biscuit, slight smoke, floral, little toffee, little sulfur. Medium body. Fine.

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.

Goya is the "bitter melon" of Okinawa. It is not the ingredient of a stellar beer.

Always surprising to find a new craft beer at the convenience store. Never surprising that it's not fabulous. These guys're usually good tho

330ml can @Kyoto. Aroma of berries, earthy notes, hints of grass and toffee. Taste is sweetish, malty and caramely with some toffee and earthiness. Finish is earthy and malty with some caramel and toffee. Feels quite English.

Big white head slowly shrinks with a fizzing sound. Hazy coppery body with light carbonation. Fruity papery aroma with overripe banana notes. Sweetish mealy fruity taste with papery candy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, mealy, low carbonation mouthfeel. Sweetish candy and fruit aftertaste with herbal mealy notes. Traces of smoke? Nice, drinkable, not too remarkable. (0.35l can from somewhere in Japan.)
