Tap at Olive. Light caramel, citrus is there but not so buchi. Classic ushitora mediocrity.

Can't remember where I had this. Maybe CBM in Sendai. Anyway, watery, aroma has some citrus, shandy like. Taste is lemon. Light bitterness. No body. Like a watered down shandy.

Tap at Craftbeer Creek. Coffee or toffee? Difficult to tell. Some sweetness hint of coffee, bit of cola, some roast. Not much aroma at all. Fizzy in the mouth. Bland in the extreme. Not sure why I am surprised.

Tap at Taiyo. Alright, quite malty, biscuit, light lemon, bit of pineapple, grassy. Touch low on excitement, but alright. Bit of caramel. Kind of thin.

Tap at the fest. Decent. Nice floral flavour, decent teeth coating sourness, slightly medicinal, cherry. Good. Kind of dry finish

Tap at the fest. Big medicinal aroma, spice, clove, deep heat. Taste is good initial pink grapefruit then fades to spice. Not much saison character in there for me. Maybe influenced by US saison rather than Belgian stuff.

Keyaki. Aroma is a bit stinky, fruity, bit of spice. Taste is good, bit boozy, tropical fruit, bitter. Not quite there for me.

Tap at the anniversary. Light hops, light malts, light everything. Another one straight down the middle of the road from the masters of mediocrity. Alright

Tap. Pretty nice. Juicy and tart. Aroma is very fruity, citrus and ume. Maybe bit briney, not sure. Taste is very nice. Much more ume than anything else but not overpowering, just very nice. Very cloudy yellow colour.

Tap at the Grub. Aroma is citrusy, bit of banana and wheat and lots of hops. Taste is hop dominated, bit of tropical fruit, bitter, but wheaty too.
