Draught at Q-Brick. Brilliant gold color, clear, with lace. Big citrus hop nose, all cascade. Clean malts behind it. Light, clean, malt flavor with some bread. Great hop flavor. Light and clean. Very nice. Another great lager from these guys.

cloudy white color. Sweet pugnant citrusy nose. Sweet mouth with lots of Mikan notes, but not balanced with enough acidity and should be a bit drier. Nice refreshing beer, but could use a bit of tweaking.

Lots of smoked ham in the mouth and a bit of peat. The nose is massively peaty, with a touch of caramel. Very malty mouth. Nicely balanced dry finish. Interesting.

Draught at the Great Japan Beer Festival, Osaka, 2011. Light, pale yellow color. Nice ciotrus aroma. Nice, fresh, taste, not sweet, good sour edge. Decent enough beery lager flavor backing up the fruit.

Draught at the Great Japan Beer Festival, Osaka, 2011. Pale yellow color, cloudy. It has a nice aroma of kinkan citrus fruits but not much else. Fruity flavor, lots of citrus, can’t taste much else beerwise, but it is tasty and balanced for a fruit beer. Not overly sweet.

Draught at the Eni-Bru 4th Anniversary Celebration. Medium gold color with a thin, fine, head. Light malt and honey aroma, fruity, with peach, pear. Nice and orignal. Sweet honey flavor with stewed fruits and alcohol, a bit “spirit” tasting, with something that seems like shochu in the alcohol heat. Clean and crisp, though a bit too sweet. Ok.

Draught at Q-Brick. Aroma of Islay Scotch: peat, a bit of caramel, almost only peat smoke, though not overbearingly strong. Medium to dark golden color with a low head. Flavor brings out much more along with the peat: honey, crackers, sweet malt, some fruit, maybe peaches, plus biggish peat smoke and a light alcohol burn. Smooth, with rather low carbonation. Full and rich. Very interesting and strange, but it works.

Very odd artificial orange color. Minerally malty body, oranges. Straightforward and simple, but not so exciting.

Draught at Q-Brick. Bright red—just a bit darker than candy apple. Fine, low, pink head. Fruity, hoppy aroma, lots of citrus and a touch of caramel. Very hoppy flavor—citrus, grass. Rather heavy malt with a slight dark fruitiness and a bit of caramel. Nice bitterness. Very tasty lager, not really a Vienna, but great hops. The added color diminishes my drinking pleasure.

Draught at Beer Belly. Pale golden color, no real mango color. Aroma of rich pilsner malts and mango. Nice malty flavor balances the fruitiness, which is far from over-powering. Nice mango freshness, and a bit of grassy hops and bitterness. Well-balanced and tasty, though I prefer their regular lagers.
