Bottled (thanks Kim!). Hazy yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is yeast, citrus, wheat, herbs and some slight toffeeish notes. Flavour is wheat, citrus, some toffee and mild herbal notes.

Draught at 1020. Glowing gold, low head, lightlit spicy nose with esters each, melon. Estery and rather hot flavor, sweet. Ok but not exciting and no clear use of hops. Seems quite a different recipe to the one released in bottles a couple years back, though not much of an improvement.

Hazy dark golden color. Nose is punctuated with oranges, wheat and coriander. Decent notes of Belgian yeast. The beer wasn’t so rounded and could spend more time aging for the flavors to come together. Alcohol well hidden,but middle of the road example of the style

Bottle from Yamaoka. Bright shiny yellow, pale, with lace. big lemon nose, acidic and nice, with a bit of malt and hop beneath, but mostly nice lemonade. Flavor is sweet lemonade at first, then tangy, then some malt flavors enter, and finally the finish is bitter hops and tangy citrus. It’s a real radler, with nice lemon character. Overall, I don’t generally drink the stuff, but it’s decent. Very crisp and refreshing too.

dark brown color. Good roastiness. Light bodied rounded. Very good rendition of the style. Very dry and lots of roastiness, which you don’t see so often in Japanese craft beer. Highly drinkable. Excellent session beer.

Draught at Eni-bru. Cloudy orange-bronze color, interesting appearance. Aroma of wheat, banana, peat. Weird, but interesting. Flavor of big peat, esters, peach, wheat. Big first impact is almost completely negative, but it gets softer and a bit of sweetness comes out. Has a rather raunchy finish of bitter grains. Strange and barely likeable. I don’t really see where they are going with this series. They should work with Bamberg rauchmalz instead.

Bottle from the brewery. Soft, malty nose. Grains, cereal, slight grassy hops. Deep gold with a huge head. Tasty malt flavor, crackers, bread, medium sweetness, light grass and bitterness. A proper helles for sure, with luscious malts. Mild and malty. Full, smooth palate. Really quite tasty. Great, soft mouthfeel. Here, Baeren is in their territory.

Bottle sent from the brewery. Malty, rich caramel nose. Very chewy with some chocolate and a bit or dried fruit. Orange-red color with lace, a bit cloudy. Rich caramel malt flavor, chewy fudge almost, light fruit, with a bit of earthiness and medium bitterness in the finish. Decent, nice malt and hop bitterness, but a bit one-dimensional and not all that interesting.
