Bottle at Kaeru. Sweet but not boozy. Sugar, caramel malty, bit of toffee. Bit thin maybe. Light fruitiness. Alright.

Tap at Craft Beer Live Osaka 2017. Grainy, slightly worty nose with lots of yuzu. Pale yellow, pastel color, with lace. Flavor is mostly yuzu and not much else. Tasty, but not very beer-like.

Picked this up on draft in a plastic cup from a hardcore liquor store near LBK. Hazy golden color. Slightly sweat malty mouth with some cereal notes. The body is a bit weak with hops not really balancing out things enough. Somewhat watery mouth feel. Real low bitterness for the style. Still very clean and refreshing. Not a bad beer, but pretty middle of the road.

Clear yellow with no real head. Aroma of wet maybe musty hops and dried leaves. Taste is quite sour with normal harsh hoppy bitterness. Not particularly smooth, but good to drink in quantities. Could be more refreshing though.

Pale and hazy, thick head. Bready, sort of doughy nose. Similar palate. Not much hop, just a sweet kit beer sort of thing.

5% on tap at the Heiankyo Event in Nara near Kintetsu Yamato-Sadaiji Stn. An opaque gold with a 1 cm filmy head. The aroma is quite floral with earthy sweet yuzu notes. Medium bodied with a chewy mouthfeel that makes it feel quite substantial. The taste isn’t so sweet which is nice it’s a balanced sweet yuzu, with some floral hop bitterness and some chewy light malts. Quite good, it hit the spot on a hot summer night.
