Tap at the brewery. Amber colour small white head. Aroma is caramel malty. Taste is ok, malty, not so exciting. Drinkable enough though.

Midtown tasting, thanks Tim. Pours bright amber, some beige foam on the top. Grassy nose, candy and bitter hops. Burnt caramel sugar, good hop bitterness, somewhat grassy overall feel. Warming. Bit harsh hops and not that balanced, still pleasant to drink.

Bottle mail order from the brewery. Rainy weather makes me want a dark beer. Luckily I had one last bottle of Chateau Kamiya Dunkel 5% Deep cola brown in color with a thick fluffy beige head and a rich bready soft cocoa bun aroma. Fairly full bodied with a prickly carbonation and dry finish. The taste is cocoa paste and spongy buns. Really tasty and easy to drink.

Tap at Brewer's Cup. rich wheat, peaches, pears, rich and full but not too sweet and a dry finish. Great balance and the booze is hidden well. Freaking awesome and the brewery just closed.
