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.

Bottle shared at a sour tasting at Noam’s office. hazy golden. Strange aroma of flowers, perfum, honey, cinnamon, funk, fruitiness, herbal touch. Sourish flavor, a bit sweet, with funk, oak, perfume, flowers, spiciness. Medium-bodied. Strange but nice.

Flaska från beergium. Mahognyfärgag, klar, högt poröst skum som lämnar mycket rester. Maltsyrlig doft med en hel del jäst och degspad. Jästig, lätt maltsyrlig, örtig beska, metall i eftersmak. Inte alls gott, närmast odrickbar.

Bottled. A golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, lacto, and malt. The lacto, brett, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.

Tasted at Lambikstoempers’ Bierweekend in Alsemberg but in its unblended form, as a one year old lambic; since this unblended version is not intended for commercialisation, I take the liberty to add my rating under this entry, which is the same thing but blended and refermented in the bottle. No head at all, hazy yellow blonde colour with greenish hue. Aroma strongly reminiscent of a citrus-flavoured tonic water, Schweppes Agrum immediately springs to mind, fresh orange (or in this case, yuzu) peel, wheat, lemon juice, sweaty and funky lambic characteristics. Refreshing, very citrussy onset, again the image of Schweppes Agrum which appears, lemon peel acidity, wheaty basis with a bready barley note, wry grape peel increasing in the finish and ending bitter, just like, again, Schweppes Agrum, but with an earthy, woody lambic character adding complexity, as well as a weird, raw mushroom-like umami flavour. Starts sour with sweetish citrus notes and becomes increasingly umami and bitter in the end - very weird lambic in all respects, but definitely interesting. Makes me curious to find out what other inventions this Japanese beer entrepreneur in Belgium will come up with...
