Tap @ Furusatomatsuri (18.01.2019). Pours creamy orange, a bit cloudy with some white foam on the top. Malty and citric nose, lime and yep, perhaps some more bitter version of mikan as well. Mikan peels that aren't sweet. tastes citrusy, refreshing and actually quite balanced, mikan level if you say so. Finish has some mild citric fruity linger, pleasant.

Tap @ Furusatomatsuri (18.01.2019). I am assuming that this is the same beer, the one I had was labelled Kyushu Craft Yuzu. Light yellow straw pour, white foam on top. Clear. Nose is fresh and citric yuzu coming out well. Feels more like yuzu chu-hi or just yuzu tea. Taste has also light sweetish yuzu coming out quite strong and fragrant. low bitterness but some yuzu peels citric thing is still lingering around in the finish a bit. Soft and pillowy overall feel. Light and smashable, yuzu-forward. 7.3.7.4 15

Tap @ Furusatomatsuri (18.01.2019). Pours clean and clear, some white foam there but not much. Nose is malty, citric and fresh. Taste is also quite citric, especially for a lager. Pleasant light citric tingle, superb balance and light sweetness coming out in the taste as well. Clean, brisk and ultimately smashable.

Tap at Takumiya. Rich malt nose, caramel, light soy, raisin, peaches, apples. Rich and fruit with a nice caramel fudge maltiness. A bit light, soft, light carbonation works well. Barely a doppel at 7% but very nice.

This beer is a bit odd, as I can't find any traces of it on the internet. I really don't know the background behind this, but I had it at the beer restaurant in Hikarie shopping complex in Shibuya and took a picture of the menu just to make sure all the info was correct. Anyways on the to review. Beautiful chestnut amber color. Offwhite frothy Head. Sweet bready, malty nose with some caramel and chocolate notes. Full body, fairly sweet with caramel, cherries, bread and chocolate character. Nice the but the depth isn’t mind blowing and none of the characteristics of the beer jump out massively. Well made though.

Tap at B&G. A Belgian wheat with local citrus fruits. First time, surprisingly, for them to do a wit, I think. Cloudy bright gold with a fine, large head. Juicy citrus, wheat, biscuits in the nose. wheaty, citrus, crackers flavor. Full-ass body. Not my favorite style, and not the best version in Japan, but a good one.

Hideji Dark Chestnut Ale 9% I got this at CBB SEED as many praised it and I’ve gotta say the inky look and rusty tan head looked pretty good. The head fizzed away a bit too fast though and the aroma gave soy/umami savory elements with a floral/fruity nutty chestnut too. Full bodied with a dry finish and a surprisingly fruity floral almost perfume like nutty chestnut flavor. It’s pretty intense and actually I found it off-putting at first but it’s growing on me. Well worth trying but be prepared for sticker shock as it is 1000¥/Bottle and often pricey on tap as well...

Dont know if this is a rebrand of another IPA, but I had this at Kyushu Festival in Yoyogi Park in Oct 2018 and asked they said it is just called Hideji IPA, but also people serving the beer didn't know a lot about the brand either. slightly hazy golden color. Nice floral hoppy nose with some grapefruit notes, slightly sweet. Low carbonation, nice mouth feel. Slightly sweet malty base with moderately aggressive bitterness. Very drinkable, but not sure world class by any stretch but a definite crowd pleaser
