Spice surprisingly subtle. Bit of strange creaminess. Spice comes at end.

Tap at the fest. Pretty nice. Lots of peanut, light roast, very dry. Maybe cola. Good stuff. Biscuity malt.

Keyaki. Bit different from the usual Ultraman Lite I think. Lots of grape and sweets aroma, love hearts. Taste is similar but with a kind of strawberry cream thing, grapes.. Bit of plastic.

Tap at JBC. Interesting, creamy, little bit sour, quite fruity, little bit of apples or is that the subconscious cider connection? I like it. Sweet berries with hint of funk.

Keyaki. Almond and caramel. Quite sweet but pretty nice. Buttery. Alright. Not right I guess, but I didn't mind it.

Keyaki. Bubblegum aroma, taste is soft drink like, pink lemonade, fruity, not really very exciting.

Keyaki. Looks normal, but that is hiding the secret. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is insanely smoky and medicinal, very strange, smells like one of those heat patches. Taste is similarly unusual. Definitely smoke, medicinal, whiskey. Nuts beer. Quite like it for its originality. Might struggle with more than half a glass. Overwhelming feeling of a hospital, possibly the reason for the name.

Keyaki. Orange coloured, small thin bubbly white head. Aroma is interesting, good fruitiness, bit of funk and blue cheese! Lots of berries. Taste is very fruity, big mix. Sweet strawberry, something a bit sour, quite interesting. Yoghurt element. And blue cheese again! Hmm really interesting. Finish is almost creamy. If this was a brewing problem, it's turned out pretty well. ---

Keyaki. Pale blond colour, small white bubbly head. Aroma is very herby, lots of rosemary and a bit of lemon too. Quite pleasant. Taste is similar, quite light and easy drinking, initial lemon fades and the rosemary lingers. Bit of grain behind it all. Possibly a bit thin bodied.
