medium hazy golden. Nice slightly tart funky nose, wheat, citrus, funky yeast. The tartness lends a nice edge in the nose. Well balanced, modest bitterness, lightly tart palate lots of funk. Very nice stuff.

Tap at Komachi. Deep amber-orange, clear, with a thick head. Big, dry, boozy nose, tropical fruit, orange, caramel, malt. Way too boozy and hot, bitter, caramel sweetness, cloying and then dry, with a finish of gasoline as it warms. Some nice hop flavors in there but they are overwhelmed by alcohol.

Tap at Bunalow. Pretty pink-orange-purple, hazy. Tart ume, shiso, lemon, fun nose. Leafy shiso flavor, you can almost taste the grit, dry, nice ume plums, great juiciness. Nice sourness without extra lactose.

Ushitora Hiyashi Chuuka Kolsch 5% Opaque straw gold with a dusty fresh milled grainy aroma and light herbal hops. Medium to light bodied and with a crisp finish. The taste matches the aroma but gives more sweetness interpolating with the herbal hops while a scratchy carbonic bite lingers into the aftertaste.

Probably the latest version of this... does RB really need 3 entries for it? Ushitora First Impact American Black IPA Cola black with a light beige head and ruby highlights. The aroma is pine and roasty malts. Medium bodied and super smooth with a soft round mouthfeel. The taste is toasty roasty dark malts, oats and chocolate with soft piney hops. Well balanced and a great example of the style.

Ushitora Ure Goro Double IPA 8.5% 67 IBU Glowing brass I color with a big bold sweet fruity aroma. Slick oily mouthfeel, full. Off and dry finish. The taste is sweet piney stone fruits, honey biscuits and bitter herbal greenery. Quite a nice classic double IPA.
