At the Yokohama Brewer’s Cup, on tap. It poured a dark gold with thin white foam. A nice sakuramochi aroma. The body was fairly neutral, kind of a lager type base but the sakura make up most of the flavor. I found it milder than Sankt Gallen’s Sakura but very easy to drink, quite nice.

Bottle. Rich dark chocolate aroma, some grass, earth, cream. Rather nice chocolate character. very dark brown, cloudy, with a thin head. Big chocolatey flavor, some malt, a bit of fruity sweetness. Rther sweet and not very beer-like, though slightly. Has a slight cola flavor. Ok for what it is.

Bottled. Slightly fruity aroma, mainly caramel malts. A bit spicy, with citrus and peppery hops in the background, plus a bit of diacetyl. Pale copper color with a lacy head. Malty, caramel and fruit falvor, a touch of butter, cherry, grass, metal, citrus. Ok bitterness at the finish. A rather amateurish and bland Japanese attempt at a PA. Not horrible, but not all that good either.

Bottle. Rather dry, faint aroma of lig caramel, cherry, minerals. Pretty, deep amber-red color with a low, bubbly head. Caramel, minerals, with a bit of roastiness in the mouth. Slightly bitter finish. Dry, earthy, subtle. Not a whole lot of flavor, really, but no bad flavors either.

Slightly fruity, crackery malt aroma with a touch of dry citrus. Rather bland, but nothing wrong. A bit creamy. Rather dark golden color, clear, with a low, fine head. Flavor malty, somewhat sweet, with grass and a touch of citrus and honey. fruity in a dry way, though not very bitter. Slightly at the end. drinkable but rather boring.
