Deep russet color. The nose is very muted and boring. Lots of cherries, chocolate and apricot notes in the mouth, full bodied but under hopped. Not that well balanced, but depth wasn’t bad.

Keyaki 2016 Spring. Nice citrusy nose with some light pine and lemon zest. Well-balanced with an average body and medium carbonation. Malt and hops are really well-integrated. Slightly juicy with a bitter finish. One of the surprises of Keyaki this year for sure. Very well-done straight-forward IPA. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kaigun-san no Bakushu IPA on 15 May 2016 at 13:34 - Score: 7

Tap at C&R. Beautiful looking weizen. Big clove, banana bread aromas that are very enticing. Light lemony notes on the palate. Creamy mouthfeel with a hint of tartness. The finish has lots of peppery hops with a touch of herbal. Great stuff from Kure. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kaigun-san no Bakushu Weizen on 22 Apr 2016 at 20:58 - Score: 7. Original review text: Great weizen. Hits all the notes with peppery hoppy finish! Great.

Tap at C&R. Almost nothing on the nose, maybe some light biscuity malts. Sweet on the palate with an overly bitter finish. Dry and yeasty. Why even make this? --- Beer merged from original tick of Kaigun-san no Bakushu Shimanowa Beer on 22 Apr 2016 at 20:56 - Score: 5. Original review text: Sweet on the palate with an overly bitter finish. I hate blondes.

Thought I’d already had this, on tap at CBM Mitsukoshimae’s Anniversary shared by TimE. A cloudy milky honey gold with a honeyed biscuit flavor. Ok enough but not so memorable

Hazy hazy white golden color. Absolutely nothing exciting in the nose with slight fruity. Slightly fruit but super boring taste. Beyond boring even for a Kolsch.

Tap at TBE Brewing. Persimmon, peach and apricot on the nose with some caramel notes. Medium body with an astringent wet dog flavor on the palate. Cardboard and ash. Scratchy mold-like finish. Infection, fection...yuck. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kaigun-san no Bakushu Alt on 15 Jan 2016 at 21:30 - Score: 3.

Light amber color. Grapefruits and a very heady nose. Lots of dry hopping and fairly interesting, but the body is lifeless and the beer falls apart. Good potential that goes no where fast.

On tap at the Bincan Fes 2015. G - IPL Kure is a beer made with Madarina Bavaria & Polaris hops. 5% the aroma is orange & citrus with a bit of a biscuit bite. Light bodied with a zesty carbonation and a dry finish. The taste is orange/citrus hoppiness, sweet biscuity pale malts and a light noble hop bite in the crisp finish. One of the best I had at the fest.
