Shikuwasa is a famous citrus fruit from Okinawa. Seemed like the logical choice for an Okinawa-style restaurant. Nakayoshi!

Can from Aeon Super. Nose is sweet honey malt, stone fruit, light citrus, and a bit of spicy yeast. Smells much more like a typical abbey blonde than a saison. Clear golden orange with a low head. Flavor is a bit too sweet, very fruity, lightly spicy. the hops are light, and the Belgian yeast adds more than they do. Reminds me of an industrial Belgian blond but with lower alcohol. Little farmhouse character and not quite dry enough to call a real saison, but not bad. Decent prickly finish.

Pours clear golden, bit of white foam. Slightly fruity sweetish aroma, stuffed biscuits. Taste is quite sweet, some orange marmalade with a touch of lightly bitter hops. Sweetness continues in the finish. Not really bad and actually a nice change from usual premium lagers - but too sweet for me for the style.

Highly carbonated with big frothy white head. Super unimpressive nose that comes across almost as a mainstream lager. Mildly sweet, with stewed apricot, way too heavy for the style. Modestly hopped. Does absolutely nothing for me and doesn’t remind me of a session IPA in any way
