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.

2020-11-21, corked half bottle at Phill's, vintage 2016, 4 years old, 5.5% ABV, 5-3-6-3-13=30
Golden to light amber colour, hazy, a lot of sediment in the bottle, almost no head; it looks oxidized. Smell of cork, ume, feet, wet cardboard; yes it's oxidized. Undercarbonated, light acidity, not much Lambic character overall, light fruit, but less evident ume than in the aroma. Too old.

2014-06-28, corked bottle at CapFlu's Blomster Bash; 5.5% ABV, 7-3-7-3-14=34
The ume aroma is very strong, with fruit pits. The flavor is quite sweet with some ume.
Nice but the Lambic character is too light.

Bottle - Umame, plum and a light sourness. Cloudy gold with a good white head. Plum tartness and a creamy long finish. Decent and not to over the top.

Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Hazy deep red - amber beer, good pale tan head. Palate is light and airy. Superfine carbonation. Light airy malts. Touch of seltzer. Mild red wine tang and fruits, very mild considering the length of time in the barrel. Light airy finish with a touch of wood. A grower.

375mL bottle, pours an opaque golden orange with a small white head. Nose brings out light funk, citrus notes, and zest. Flavour is lightly sweet, with plums, citrus fruits, light funk, and some residual sweetness. Well-balanced, with some funky, citrus notes on the finish. Good stuff.

375mL bottle, pours an opaque cloudy orange with a small white head. Nose is extremely citric and pithy, with loads of citrus zest to the point of mouth shrinking. Flavour is extremely lemony, with loads of mouth shrinking citric acid, lemon and pithiness. Doesn't really taste like a lambic. Just really citric, acidic and pithy. Not to my taste - too acidic and citric.

Pale dull tan. No head. What a nose, fresh sweet cherries, cherry pits, and touch of cinnamon spiciness. Crazy, this beer is totally different from anything I’d had. Sweet, touch of spice, marzipan/almond extract, and light cherry.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to K-Bird. Pours deep brown with a creamy, tan head. Not bad overall, lots of dark fruits, bread, light metallic notes, some meat. Medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly warming, with some woody accents, more dark berries, toasty sugars. Nice enough.

Bottle split at Bruce’s pad, thanks to Kenwold, 12/06/14. #475/500. Chestnut brown with a moderate light beige covering. Nose is ripe fruits, Belgian yeast esters, toffee, bitter shandy notes, dark fruit peel. Taste comprises caramel, dark fruit, subtle BA effect, red berry fruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok, not overly dynamic, doesn’t deliver at lot for a BA beer or for the ABV, not unpleasant just a little whelming.

Flaska på Nya Tröls. Väldigt fin flaska, gyllenfärgad, lite skum och kolsyra. Stor syrlig och frisk citrusdoft, mycket intensiv. Ganska snäll syra och massor av djupa, fruktiga, lätt skalbeska och syrliga citrussmaker med mycket zest, lite blommig, träig, citrongräs och med lite naturgummi i bakgrunden. Liknar inget jag druckit, lite citrusbål möter lambic. Mycket uppfriskande och trevlig.
