Tap at Nakanoshima. Pretty, glowing yellow, very cloudy. Great mango nose, a bit stanky, juicy. Tangy, lovely mango flavor. Nice sweet / tart balance. I really liked this.

Tasting at Matt’s, can
Hazy blond color, small head. Dry and weak beer, with light bread flavor, and a weird citrus fruit (lime and tropical) more evident in aroma than flavor. Astringent and dry in the final.
Clumsy but a bit refreshing.

Can, pours a cloudy dirty blonde with a medium white head. Aroma is very floral, with weird fruity floral notes dominating, along with coriander and wheaty notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of citrusy weirdness, some heavy floral notes (probably from the fruit as well) and a little spiciness. Odd, but not too bad.

Can. Slight haze, light colour. Not much head. Aroma mixes some stank yeast, and also the nectarish bright fruit. Sweet, with a light fruity character, maybe some fruity acidity, too. Odd character, not sure how much is attributable to the fruit and how much attributable to the base beer. I won’t say it’s bad, but it’s definitely odd.

Deep mahogany color. Super lovely nose of vanilla and Oak. Low carbonation. Vanilla dominates and then oak. Super malty body, but not high enough ABV so the body feels a bit thin. Big long lingering vanilla finish. Super. Slightly warming. Could be amped up to 8-9% and have better results but regardless this is hands down the best beer I’ve had in Okinawa.
