very cloudy golden color. Frothy white head. The nose is almost non-existent. Very malty mouth with herbal notes (sage?!?). Well made but boring.

pale golden slightly cloudy color. Frothy white head. Very grassy hoppy dry nose. Pungent. Good mouth feel. Grassy. Very fresh and good condition. Damn bitter finish. Wow. Much better than I thought it would be.

Draught at the brewpub. Huge raspberry and jam aroma. Not exactly natural, but aromatic and nice enough. Reddish gold color. Sweet flavor of raspberry and some malt, with a slight sour edge. Tangy, smooth, oily, and pretty drinkable. About as good as any sweetened, mass-produced Belgian Framboise!

Draught at the brewpub. It’s call ume--plum, since plum is the third of the auspicious plants for the Japanese new year--Pine, Bamboo, and plum. It tasted like plum as well, though the bartender said their weren’t any in it! Nice, spicy aroma of plums. Dark orange-brown color. Thinner flavor of ume and spice, caramel. Decent taste, though the flavor doesn’t live up to the nice nose. Strong bitterness in the finish. Their best beer today.

Draught at the brewpub. Sweet, butterscotch flavor with a lemon tang and grass. Honey as well. Simple, ok flavors but a bit syrupy and lacks integration and hop character.

Draught at the brewpub. Syrupy, caramel and chocolate aroma with brown sugar. Sweet flavor of caramel, orange, spice. Simple but not bad. Nice bitter bite at the finish. Tastes a lot like the extract dubbel I once made.
