Tap @ iBREW Shinbashi. Pours golden, some white foam on top. Sweet nose,really like gummy years and cotton candy were blended here, a bit artificial feel to it. Tastes similarly sweet, candies liquified. Medium bitterness there, lingering a bit in the finish. Weird brew, can drink this but just too much candies here. Not sticky sweet though, somewhat more unusual feel to it.

I am guessing that due to Kyoto Brewing's Ichigo Ichie beer they now just call it Strawberry Lager. On tap at Craft Beer Picnic 2017 in Osaka. This opaque pink-orange brew has a super-jammy sweet strawberry aroma. Medium to light bodied and dry. The taste is smilarly jammy with a dry crackery light malt character. The strawberry flavor is surprisingly intense and authentic but I assume is from syrup? I was surprised by it's jammy goodness.

Tap at Koumin. Clear orange-amber with a thick, low head. Spicy citrus nose, some caramel. A bit sweet, spicy, citrus, and some pine. Prickly, peppery finish. Decent.

Pours clear golden, quite transparent. Aroma is actually quite nice, sweet peach, sugary fruit feel to it. And then comes the vegetables. Vegetables dominate also the taste, peach is coming out only in the finish, just for the bit. Not really nice and probably would have tasted differently from the tank. Anyhow, bottle was supposed to be good for another 9 months, so well...

Tap at Watering Hole. Slightly hazy straw gold with a finger of foam that dissipates quickly. Light apple aromas. Some grain on the palate, sweet and tad boozy. Meh. Not really much of anything. Kind of juice like as it warms. --- Beer merged from original tick of Apple Lager on 25 Apr 2016 at 20:05 - Score: 6. Original review text: Light Apple on the nose, grainy and a little boozy on the finish. Sweet and juice like. Meh.

Tap at Bankan. Dark reddish brown with a small off-white head. Grassy hop notes with some good malt balance on the nose with a touch of smoke. Grassy with some lightly sweet malts and and a touch of smoked bacon. Really interesting, and surprised to find a bit of smoke in there. Good lightly bitter, grassy, crisp finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Red Ale on 03 Aug 2015 at 20:04 - Score: 7
