Tap at GJBF Osaka 2016. Good wheat and citrus hop nose, quite fragrant. Cloudy golden color. Great, crisp hopping, wheaty biscuits, nice bitterness. Good one. Maybe the best of the day.

Keyaki Spring 2016. Nice light Belgian yeast-forward nose with berry and grass notes. Some light yogurt and lemon notes and more berry. Lightly peppery finish that is dry. For the abv this is pretty awesome. --- Beer merged from original tick of Farm House Saison on 15 May 2016 at 17:02 - Score: 7

Keyaki fall 2016. Really nice malt character, good caramel and toasted biscuit character. Easy drinking with a light bitterness on the finish. Really solid. Keyaki Fall 2015. Clear copper with a smallish off-white head. Good malty aromas with some light caramel and currant. Nice carbonation and medium body. Easy to drink, but pretty straightforward for the style.
