330 ml bottle from a mall in Utsunomiya. Pours hazy brown with a small head that is gone in a few seconds. Aroma is quite faint, some yeast, a bit of sour alcohol, tropical fruits. Taste is more roasty, some toffee and black bread - mixed with some notes of sour yeast. A bit of hop bitterness remaining on your tongue at the end. Overall pretty decent, nicely drinkable beer.

Backlog. On tap @ Popeye, June 2008. Copper to brown color. Aroma’s: sweet malts, sweet fruits. Flavor is mainly sweet, with a hint of bitterness. Medium bodied. Finishes moderate bitter. More Belgian style strong ale than a UK or US Barley Wine, but OK enough.

Bottle, summer 2008. Backlogged rating. A light, thin, Golden color. Just a little cloudy. Has a nice white head. It has an aroma, which seems to show more barley malt than usual. I sense some bananas and maybe cloves. The flavor is closer to that of a crystal-weizen, as is the mouth feel. It does not really have the taste of a hefeweizen. It is light in malt, with a relatively simple taste, with some bananas and biscuits. It is very light and refreshing, although not wholly interesting or original.

12oz or maybe 33cl bottle at Toki Underground in DC. Pours a lightly hazy light orange with some creamy white head. Nose is earthy, lemony, light malt, some lime, a little toasted grain. Flavor is the same, toasted grain, lemon, earthy, tropical. Medium bodied, dry, citrus refreshing finish. Went perfectly with my fatty, porky, spicy, herbal ramen dish.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe in Davis, CA. Pours light amber with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of resin over a nice caramel backbone. Near med body. Flavor is floral, resin and citrus over mild caramel. Goes a bit bready. It’s rather lushly floral towards the finish. Excellent and tasty ale.
