Bottle thanks to Dusan & Simona. Simple pale ale. Too much body and caramel, does not let the hops shine. Otherwise ok.

Can with thanks to my wife! Pours murky, almost mudy amber, small white head, lasting, decent lacing. Aroma is corn syrup, vegetal, sharp and phenolic. Flavor is quite sweet, harshly bitter, very corny, unpleasant. Medium body, low carbonation. Lingering metallic bitterness.

Can, picked up by my loving wife in Kyoto. (My wife went to Japan and all I got was this lousy blond ale :)) Pours quite hazy apricot, small fizzy white head, dissipates quickly with a bit of lacing perhaps. Aroma is very corny, grains, honey. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter, hmmm. Light plus body. Corn and more corn.

Snagged the last bottle of Miyajima’s Pale Ale at Isetan tonight. It pours a murky orange gold with quite a nice fruity pine hop bouquet featuring pineapple & passion fruit. A zesty carbonation on a med-light body. The flavor has clove phenols which is more Weizen like. The hop bitterness isn’t so apparent while it has a somewhat astringent character to it. Not bad but way too phenolic for a pale ale in my opinion, not to style. Looking at the label it seems this version was made at Yamaguchi Narutaki Kogen Brewery.

Ambar. Menos de un dedo de espuma, que afea la presencia. Aroma muy malteado, acaramelado dulzón, pero sin perder matices herbales lupulados. Sabor dulce también, claramente de miel y de flores, donde aparecen casi por igual malta y lúpulo. Cansina seguro, pero no está mal si tomas solo una... preferentemente después de cenar.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Dancing Camel Florentin. Thanks mom for this bottle! Cloudy yellow with a white head. Mildly sourish aroma with wort, huskiness, yeast, bread, corn and some fruity notes. Sweetish flavor with wort and yeast, fruity, estery, a bit sourish, with a mildly bitterish finish. Rather light-bodied. Quite drinkable, but nothing like a Pilsener. A bit like a cheap Hefeweizen.
