Kinshachi platinum On tap at GJBF 2016. A cloudy light gold with a somewhat tangy Weizen like aroma leaves me confused as I thought it was a Pilsner. Full wheaty body with good clove notes tells me this must be a Weizen and a decent one at that. They need to change the name on this and it’d sell better.

Bottle at a standing bar in Tokyo station. Clear golden straw color with a small white head. Slight aromas of earthy hops and a bit of fruit as it warms up. Sweet on the palate with the malts pushing to the front. Slightly bitter finish. Just OK.

330ml bottle pours out a copper color topped with a tan sand head. Nose is old cereal malts and and a touch of grassy hop. Taste is pretty much all malts and a tad of hoppy bitterness on the end.

Tap at Komachi. Cloudy, deep golden color. Full clove and banana nose. Very spicy, great cloves, some nutmeg and cinnamon, peach and banana. A bit too sweet, but full bodied and good. Best of the beers under this label.

330ml bottle from a friend. Poured into a shaker pint. Golden orange color with a slight bit of haze and a fairly nice soapy head. Slight toasted malt aroma with a smidgen of citrus. Soft, slightly creamy mouthfeel with a bready quality. Dry crisp finish. Not all that interesting.

Kinshachi IPA on tap at Craft Beer Man - I was sure I’d rated it before. A clear ruddy red pour with a thick beige head and a woodsy one bark like aroma. Medium-light bodied with an earthy pine bark bite and some residual sweetness in the finish. Quite nice.

On tap at the GJBF in Osaka 2014. A slightly opaque gold, thin filmy head. Rich bready malt nose. Soft mouthfeel, the flavor is kind of average but satisfying.
