An English pale ale from Chitei Ryoko, 5%. A cloudy copper gold with a thin filmy off-white head. A mild biscuity malty aroma. Very soft smooth medium body. The taste has a surprisingly bitter finish on a solid malt body. Average to good.

Is this the same as the Miyajima Pilsner? On tap at the Kyoto Beer Fest 2014. Apparently they are the same, a semi/cloudy gold pour with a thick fluffy head. A really graham biscuit nose. medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. The taste is graham, pils malts & noble hop. Quite clean tasting & refreshing. Color me surprised.

Draught at Craft Beer Live, Namba May 23, 2010. Very fruity and sweet smelling, dark golden with no head, really. Fruity flavor with some peach and pear. A little butter. I’d guess it was an ale as well, and a happoshu. It’s not even as good as the other one. Drinkable but not good at all.

Draught at Craft Beer Live, Namba May 23, 2010. Deep, dark, brown, much darker than a marzen should be. Very fruity, chocolatey, caramel aroma. Slightly buttery. Taste also is a bit buttery, sweet, fruity. Tastes reasonably good although it is obviously an ale, it’s kind of what would normally be called an alt in Japan. Sugary, both in nose and taste, obviously a happoshu. It’s not bad, but nothing like a maerzen. Nothing special.
