Bottleshare at CBJ, Can, thanks to Wingman. Near clear pale gold beer, thin white head. Smooth palate, light and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Thin malts. Esters and floral sweetness. Light finish. Not something I hate but fairly dull.

Can shared at CBJ - cheers to Dave. Pours clear pale yellow with a slight, foamy white head. Light sweet flavour with nice, pale biscuits, light bitter hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Tidy finish, nicely balanced finish. Solid.

355ml can which I felt obliged to get given it's got my name on it (in Japanese) - クリス (Kurisu). Clear yellow, white head. Aroma of doughy malts and a hint of citrus zest. Taste of sweet doughy malts, grainy, zesty lemon, grass, leading to a very dry, crisp, clean finish with a slight bitterness. Medium bodied, mid-high carbonation.

5/5/2024. Can from RAD beer. Pours thick, bitty, orange brown, with a strange frogspawn/tapioca like head. Not an attractive beer. Aroma is biscuit, blueberry, kiwi, orange, blackberry, raspberry, apple. Medium sweetness, light bitterness and sourness. Medium body, gritty smooth, no carbonation. Looked awful but otherwise enjoyable.

355ml can. Clear red, beige head dissipating very quickly. Aroma of a fruity malt loaf, raisins, caramel. Taste is the same, fruity malts, some caramel, dried fruits, mild hop spice and citrus, toasted malt bitterness. Light-medium bodied. Good, not great, so probably not worth the trademark infringement but I do love RDR and red ales so it was a must buy for me.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Fairly palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Thinnish malts but plenty sweet enough. Light crisp pine hops intro. A little Parma Violets led candy fruits into decent stone fruits. A mild savoury vibe. Finishes with a reasonably juicy, mildly ripe citrus. Mild spicy linger. Light, crisp and plenty hoppy. Nice job.
