Saint Yoshie Ume Saison from 2nd Story Ale Works
7 years ago
7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Excellent tart nose that shows the plum and yeast and good floral hop character all balanced out. Wow. That nose hits all the right parts all at once. Low carbonation, modestly tart tons of wheat, excellent funky Belgian yeast black pepper flour hops. Medium body. Off sweet. Totally untraditional but this is very interesting. Everything it tries to be, it is. Maybe a touch drier would be better but this rocks

Saint Yoshie Ume Saison from 2nd Story Ale Works
7 years ago
6.8/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
Tap @ iBREW Shimbashi. Pours golden but somewhat cloudy and looking pretty flat. Not the best look actually. Nose has a bit of umeshu character, simple fruity. Taste has more plums and feels actually more like umeshu than beer. Fruity and easily drinkable, not bad at what it is. Some saison yeast esters there also, not very bitter and not very funky, quite tame.

Tropical NE IPA from 2nd Story Ale Works
7 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
very hazy golden amber color. Frothy white head. A bit too carbonated mouth and tropical Hops don’t drop as much as I hoped. Still fairly dank and quaffable. Certainly not bad. But mouth feel and hop character could be adjusted a bit.

Pale Ale from 2nd Story Ale Works
7 years ago
7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
turbid amber golden color, frothy white head. The most odd nose of lemon grass, citrus and lemon cough drops. I can’t believe this is just coming from hops. Some over ripe mangoes, lemongrass and citrus not. Fairly juicy with low med bitter and carbonation but body felt a touch lifeless. It needed more alpha acidity or body. Still very interesting

very turbid white golden colors. Sweet juicy dank nose with tons of overripe mangos. Modest tartness, but the hops don’t shine as much as previous ne ipa. White grapefruit finish. Not bad.

NE IPA #2 from 2nd Story Ale Works

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
frothy white head. Light white amber color. Omg I could make love to that nose. The hops aren’t shining, they are singing across roofs. Wow. An underlying headiness that is very dank with big tropical fruit notes. My god this nose is amazing. Low medium bitterness, medium carbonation, very juicy, very dank. Very good condition. Super crushable. Wow. This is fuckin great. I think the carbonation could be half a notch down and the abv up to 7.5-8.0% and this would be a masterpiece. Still one of the best NE IPAs in Japan.
