Description
OWA beer was born in May 2006. It was born and designed for the best Belgium and Japanese fusion food experience. It is indeed a very good combination with SUSHI and YAKITORI (weet soy sauce). The brewery is located in the famous district of Uccle in Brussels, only 2kms from the Moeder Lambic in Saint Gilles. Leo Imai started to brew in December 2008 and in 2009 he made a kitchen laboratory in the brewery, and researched the best marriage with japanese food.

Pours unclear yellow to amber, no sign of any carbonation at all. Scent is intense, sharp, acetic, tart, oak, fruity backbone (tart fruits ) nothing hints of sweetness, or a complex, refined lambic, for that matter. Taste is very tart, acetic, sharp, lemontartness (intense! ) very earthy. Fruityness is mild, since the sourness takes over completely. Earthy, acetic, lemontart finish. No carbonation. Honestly, this isn't lambic. I dont care who brewed it, or what ingredients and processes were used. Lambic is about balance and complexity, refined flavors and drinkability. This is drinkin' acid, resembling closer to an ' American 'lambic inspired' failure. This is Upland 'lambic' all over again, which is a shame, since i've had a much better impression from Owa before.

Pours unclear amber. Small, nearly no head. Scent is very funky, herbal, mildly tart. Yoghurty almost. Taste is intensely tart, dry, earthy, herbal, funky, oak, bit dusty almost. very drying. Recognizable wasabi, yes. A very weird, unique beer. Sounds like a beer 77ships would score 5/5. Bit of a malty finish. Medium carbo
