Tap at the brewery. Light amber colour, off-white frothy head. Aroma is sweet malt, bit of hoppiness, wheat. Taste is pretty good, light fruity sweetness, solid maltiness, light caramel, apples, slight spiciness. Quite like this, maybe my favourite of the day.

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 Good Beer Faucets. Orange colour with small bubbly golden head. Aroma is yeasty, fruity citrus bitterness, loads of hops. Taste is initially tangerine and bready malt. After that moves on to grapefruit and lemon. Still malty. Nice bitterness. Very long fading bitter finish. Has a whiff of Belgium about it, maybe the yeastiness. Very nice.

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.

Draft at the Brewery. Orange blond colour, small off-white head. Aroma is wheat, bananas, bit of white pepper and some creamy sweetness. Taste is not as full-on as some weizens, but still has banana sweetness, more creaminess than in the aroma, just a touch of bitterness, and bready malt. Small prickle in mouth. Very nice solid weizen.
