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 from Hasegawa. nose is slightly roasty, lots of umami, chocolate, raisins, spicy yeast. Belgian stout? More like a Dubbel? Pitch black with a low, fine head. Sweet chocolate and raisins, Belgian yeast, very light roast, lots of umami. Tasty. Good balance, light tartness. Rather meaty. Tasty. A bit gassy carbonation, somewhat airy. Good stuff. Not much of a stout, more like a Belgian strong dark, which I prefer anyhow.

15.04.2014, 0,33l bottle @ home:
Big slightly fizzy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet fruity, caramel malts, almond cake, nuts, toffee, honey, butterscotch, grass. Taste is kind of harsh medical, caramel malts, almond essence, grass, washwater, nuts, butterscotch. Medium bitterness, harsh mouthfeel, high carbonation. Boring!

Bottle at GBG Ö&W 2014. Hazy golden/orange with a small head. Cinnamon both in the aroma and taste, also yeast, fruit, wood and funk. Quite light mouthfeel. Not that tart. This was a really special lambic, I could’t avoid to start thinking about Christmas when drinking this.

Bottle at GBG Ö&W 2014. Hazy golden with a small white head. A lot of Yuzu, both in the medium tart aroma and taste. Also lime, light funk and grapefruit. Fairly light mouthfeel and with a surprisingly bitter finish. A special one but I liked it.

Bottle at GBG Ö&W 2014. Hazy golden/orange with a small white head. This beer is a bit hard to describe. Plums, nuts, wood, grape and some grass. Also some cherries in the dry finish. Not that tart. Not a bad one but neither the best one of the three beers from OWA that I tried in Gothenburg.

Pours dark and foamy. Looks like a stout but feels somewhat thinner and more flowing. Taste reveals the sourness of this beer - it has sour, fermented fruits, feels like a cider but not sweet at all. Besides well balanced sourness, I can also feels some roast, dried fruits. For some reason there is a hint of bee wax in the otherwise roast malt aftertaste. Very complex and multi-layered beer, soft but assertive.

Very dark brown color, almost black. Rocky light brown head. Moderately sour with red wine, toffee, tannic nose. Very interesting. The mouth is very light for 8%, notes of milk chocolate, red wine, toffee. Very well integrated and balanced. Never too sweet. Lingering sour finish with some red wine notes with toffee.
