Tap at the Brewery. Light golden colour, thick creamy white head. Aroma is quite grainy, little bit of hops, something plastic-like. Taste is nice. Grainy, bit of sweetness, some lingering fruitiness. It's ok, but not really very exciting. Second time it felt more hoppy, lemon and dry. Slight bump in the score.

At Keyaki. Bright pink red, small light pink head. Aroma is light cranberry, bit of strawberry too i think. Jam like. Taste is cranberry but quite sweet too. Decent dryness from the cranberry. Pretty fruity but not much else. I like it but feel bad about liking it as it seems to be pretty much a fruit juice. % is now 3 apparently, so maybe they have changed the recipe a bit.

Tap at the brewery. Very nice. Easy drinking, light caramel, grainy. Decent body, but slips down easy.

Draft at the brewery. Dark orange amber colour, almost brown, small golden head. Aroma orange, touch of cream, bit of spice, ginger. Malty roast maybe. Taste spicy, orange brown bread, ginger nuts, floral bitterness. Really nice and interesting too. Rerate at Keyaki. Caramel at the front, focuses on the malt but I like it. Little sweetness, like it. Maybe not as bitter or spicy as I expected, but I like it.

Draft at the brewery. Very clear blond colour, small white head. Aroma is flour, wheat, quite like the helles. Taste is crisp and wheaty, easy to drink. Bit more carbonation than others but not too fizzy. Not bad.

Draft at the brewery. Pale blond with white small head. Aroma wheat, bit citrus, bitter lemony hops. Taste nice and bitter. Lots of lemon. Some wheat there after bitterness fades. Very refreshing and crisp. Good starter. Like a Japanese/German XX bitter. Rerate: 20/9/13 this year it is really grapefruity. Taste upped by 1 point.
