Nara Ale & Books Bodoni German Ale 6% 15 IBU An orange brown with a dirty beige head of foam and a rye malt aroma with stone fruits. The medium to light bodied brew has peppery caramel biscuit and candy fruit notes reminiscent of fruit cake. The aftertaste gives banana bread. Nice easy drinking stuff.

Tap at Crafthouse Kyoto. Bright golden color. Only slightly hazy. Citrusy nose with some tropical fruits. Crisp and lean, lots of citrus, a bit of catpiss. Some tropical fruit and orange juice, but really not in the hazy style. More like a typical west coaster. Good though.

Nara Brewing Optima German Ale 5.5% 18 IBU I believe this is their Helles lager inspired brew. The aroma is biscuity and malt forward while the medium bodied beer adds crisp herbal elements to the caramel biscuit malt notes. Quite crisp and goes down a treat, nice beer for fall.

Very nice stuff. Vanilla and fruity roast if that makes sense.

Nice stuff. Weird fruit and sweetness mix. Toffee maybe. It’s vanilla/tonka. God I’m shit at this.

NBC MacGuffin 5% 13 IBU Spiced fruit ale with coconut When I read the description I knew I wanted to enjoy this at the beach. I didn’t realize this was a nitro pour! Golden orange with dense creamy foam and a spicy cinnamon, clove & tonka bean aroma. Smooth silky nitro mouthfeel on a medium-full body. The taste is very much spices up front then some tart pineapple and tropical fruit. Good but I’m wishing for more fruit and less spice. The tonka bean gives it an earthy coffe like balance.

Happy Anniversary! Nara Brewing Wild Ambitions IPA 6.5% 50 IBU Matte gold with dense off-white creamy foam and an aromatic hop bouquet of fruits and woodsy pine - very bright. Medium bodied and luscious mouthfeel. The cascade and Columbus bring balance to the mosaic and Galaxy. Very crisp finish, super crushable. Great beer.

Nara Brewing Love Island 4% Fruit Sour Ale with Coconut 8 IBU Matte orange gold with little foam that was gone in a blink. A well balanced sour ale with a bit of a subtle tropical edge. With mango, pineapple and coconut in it I was expecting something more full on. A good beer.
