Draught at Raisin-do. Shiny black with a tight, tan head. Chocolate nose, with milk, berries and fruit. Light and smooth body. Rich but not too roasty and also not too sweet. Nice fruit, some wood. Refreshing, very drinkable and tasty, with great balance, though quite light—probably great for Okinawa.

noble hops, Goya in nose. Moderately bitter dry finish. Basically a decent lager with a touch of goya.

tons of bananas, very estery. Light body. Enjoyable, but a bit cloying. Still best beer in the Okinawa sun.

dark chocolate, dark cherries, licorice, a bit thin bodied. Malty. Great depth, but not enough body.

Not much going on in the nose. slight grassy notes. very light body, tons of hops. Lots of bitterness. Almost creamy mouth feel. Well balanced. Hops linger at the end. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Clear golden color with a low, fine head. Aroma of whaet malt, banana, butter, and spices. A bit too buttery but ok. Creamy, full, mouth. Rich, estery flavor, creamy. Too sweet, and too much butter. Ok but not really good.

Tap at the tap room in Naha: light, crisp lager with decent malts and good bitterness. Goya flavor comes in more at the and, a spicy, lightly vegetal bitterness. Still don’t really dig it, but much better than before. Draught at the Craft Beer Festival in Ichinoseki, Iwate. 5/3/3/3/7 Very pale yellow with a low, rocky head. Faint, dry, slightly fruity aroma, bitterness easy to predict. Bitter, dry, astringent flavor with cayenne pepper. Extremely unpleasant to me, with a taste resembling Chinese herbal medicine and a very long bitter finish. Yuck!

Bottle pours out a clear gold topped with a small white head. A odd spice and fruit aroma along with the tast. this brew reminds me of a jalapano beer. Pretty cool. thanks BückDich
