pitch black color. Roasted malt and dark fruit nose. Light bodied, alcohol well hidden, smooth. Not such big roasted character with dark fruit. Needs more roastiness. Decent and deceivingly nice and drinkable, but not uber complete

Tap at Eni-bru. Shiny black with lace. Nose is roasty wood, coffee, brown sugar, light berries. Sweet, fruity flavor with chocolate and cream, cola, and a nice, prickly hop finish. A bit too sweet, but good.

On tap at the GJBF in Osaka 2014. A crystal clear light gold. Big bready hoppy aroma, mouthwatering! Big chewy bready light malts and light green bitter malts. Delicious. I can see why this is an exemplary pilsner, very well balanced malts and light noble hops being fully utilized. Top knotch.

On tap at the GJBF as the Okunoto Legend Lager. 5% a lovely amber lager. These guys are lager experts. A crystal clear glowing amber brown. Bready malts, good caramel. The taste is luscious and sweet, bready light malts. Deliciously light malts. Subtle goodness.

7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On tap at the GJBF in Osaka 2014. 5% lovely cloudy straw color, lovely spicy estery aroma with singe hop notes. The flavor is hugely wheaty but in a good way, nice clove spice notes as well with a smooth though somewhat light body. Good but not as nice as the lagers which are world class.

On tap at the GJBF in Osaka 2014. Very dark brown. 5% light caramel aroma, medium to light bodied. The taste is a well balanced light chocolate malts and just the slightest hint of roastiness. Probably the subtlest dark lager I have seen in Japan but great.

Tap at GJBF Osaka 2014. Crisp NS hop nose, wheat, light esters. Not much, but a little banana and clove. Crisp and summery, great stuff. Refreshing and hoppy yet still a weizen all the way.

6.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
On tap at Molto Stand. A cloudy mellow straw gold, similar in look to pineapple juice - but in a good way. It has a filmy white head that clings to the glass. The aroma is yeasty with a light classic weizen spiciness. Medium bodied, soft mouthfeel but possibly undercarbed. The taste is lemon, cloves, sweet fruity weizen goodness but on the mild side. Not bad.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Tap at Toranomon. Nose of grapefruit, lemon, a bit of catpiss. typically NS. Lemony, malts flavor, the pilsner malts are nice but don’t come through as full as in the Palisade lager. Less grassy, though, and probably better balanced. Toasty finish and good use of these hops.
