Bottle from Isetan. Ginjo sake nose! Fruits, koji, lemon, pear, green apple, lovely. Nice and bright, deep orange, a bit cloudy, with lace and effervescence. Rich malt flavor, pears, apple, peaches, spicy koji like yeastiness. Crisp and quite clean, and relatively dry. It has sweetness but less sweet than most other beers of the time I have had. Great stuff.

First up on this sunny day: Nara Axis American-Belgian style ale 6% 30 IBU Lovely orange gold with an off-white head that lingers and leaves nice lacing behind. Floral hop bouquet with spicy white pepper and wheat notes. Medium bodied and crisp with zesty citrus, loads of spice and hops that deftly blend in. Nice stuff, very refreshing.

Nara Brewing Underwater Sake Yeast Beer 11.5% Matte brass with the tiniest film of foam and a rich stone fruit aroma. Full bodied with a bit of heat and a lush rich mouthfeel. Raisin bread pudding and smooth flavor that reminds me of Shimane’s Orochi series.

Tap at Crafthouse. Pretty deep brown with a thick, low head. Nose is caramel malt, hazelnuts, chocolate. Sweet and milky, tasty nuts and caramel. A bit too sweet for my taste, but a well made low abv winter beer.

hazy brown color. Slightly sweet nose with nuts, earth wood and lactose notes. Surprisingly heavy malty palate. A bit too full bodied for 4%. But not bad.
