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.

2013 bottle shared. Almost clear golden with ring of very small bubbles. Lots of sweet citrus notes on the notes, probably yuzu? Smells very good. Taste is funky, lemon, lime, bergamot, quite funky, hay, soap, flowery, toilet freshener. Nix mix between sweet sour and bitter, with the bitterness lingering for a long time in the finish. Medium bodied with barely any carbonation. The smell is amazing, otherwise just a decent beer but not that amazing.

Poured from a 2014 bottle. Aroma is nice with a moderate plum note and a bit of citrus and tropical fruit. Some light oak notes and a touch of an herbal funk. Pours a somewhat hazy, pale golden orange with a small, thin white head that recedes and lingers. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with some sweetness to it. Moderate plum notes with quite a bit of apple as well. Some light tropical fruit and citrus. Light oak notes and a touch of herbal character. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer with lots of plum and red apple notes. Light funk and oak. The apple character overwhelms the plum though.

2013 Vintage, bottle number 783 of 1200. Aroma is awesome with a really unique lemon/citrus note. Citrus is candy-like. Some light oak notes. Hints of an herbal, grassy note. Pours a somewhat hazy, pale golden orange with a small, thin white head that recedes and lingers. Flavor is somewhat acidic with some moderately strong citrus notes that are slightly less candy like than in the aroma. It still has the unique character to it that is somewhat like lemon-lime. Fairly bitter though. Light oak notes with a bit of an herbal note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, I really like the aroma and flavor of the yuzu. Unfortunately it adds a lot of bitterness and a slightly odd herbal note.

Bottle 82 of 1000. Aroma is floral with a honey note and some light vegetable, leafy note. Some light oak and medium light tropical fruit notes. Some citrus as well. Pours a somewhat hazy, pale golden orange with a small, thin white head that recedes and lingers. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with some light citrus and medium light tropical fruit. Moderate floral and honey notes. Some red apple as well. Moderate wet oak notes. Some leafy notes as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an interesting beer, and I like the floral notes, but the leafy notes don’t quite work. the base lambic also doesn’t have a ton of funk either. Acidity is nice and not harsh at all.

Saurer Beginn mit gemüseartigen Aromen, kernig, Laub, etwas dumpf. Die Säure bleibt bestehen, bitter, harmonisch. Interessant, vollmundig und gelungen! 10/10/12/12/15/12
