zapach mleka i maślanych bułek, do tego lekkie drożdże. ładna, obfita piana, kolor bursztynowy, mocno zmętniony z dość brzydkimi frędzlami. w smaku słodko, znowu lekko maślany smak. niska goryczka i nasycenie. trochę jak maślane ciastka.

Canned. Aroma stale hops, metallic. Very very very very light underlying banana. Hazy yellow colour. Taste is overly sweet, sugary, honeyish. Light banana. Not so off as the aroma but not too good either.

Backlog. Canned, enjoyed in 2008. Amber color, slightly hazy. Aroma’s: sweet malts, caramel malts, hints of sweet fruits. Flavor is light sweet, caramel. Light bodied, on the thin side. Finishes just slightly bitter-ish.

The Sampler, Brooklyn 300ml ($8): Called Ginga Kogen Beer... assuming it is this because of the style. Pours a hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is banana, rice, and a bit of spice. Taste is sort of dry hefe weizen with a kind of grainy weird finish. Not bad, but far from great. Nice blue bottle.

I am not sure what Maekchu means, maybe he got an off can or something... 280 yen or so from Lawson. 5.5% can served in a glass beer mug. It’s quite a good looking stout, deep black with a foamy beige head that left behind no lacing. The aroma is a mild chocolate with a bit of roastiness. Medium bodied the flavor is mostly lightly roasted coffee bitterness with a bit of chocolate in the finish. I think this is pretty good not terribly complex but alright.

0,35 l can. Ginga Gogenis one of the most available craft beers in Japan but for me this is the first time to try their Stout. Can looks stylish, black, some explanation about "what is stout". Beer pours out nice, beer is deep brown, almost black, some brown even in a foamy head. Well, that head disappears fast, leaving only few bubbles. Aroma is a bit too simple - it is possible tonote some roasted malts, and something soft - difficult to put my finger on it but it feels maybe like... raw potato? Something buttery in the aroma also. Taste is smoked malts, slight bitterness and somewhat sour finish. Body is light, not bad but also not entirely satisfying.
