20/8/2023. Bottle shared by The Blackhaddock. Pours hazy pale golden orange with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is sweet, fruity, malt, grass, touch tropical and herbal. Fairly sweet with moderate bitterness and a touch of tart. Moderate body, oily, spritzy carbonation. Quite okay.

330ml bottle shared with blackhaddock in his beer cave. Misty golden amber appearance, good white head. Bit of a herbal bitter side to this, settling somewhat with a distant sweetness coming into view. Ok overall.

21st June 2023, new region and rare beer tasting with minutemat (and a sample for Grumbo) at my place. Thanks cyclist Shirley for the 330ml pull-tap bottle of this: BB 12th August 2023. Fairly clean golden body, white crust. Decent enough Pilsner, some light bitterness tempered by a solid malty base, nothing to get excited about, but it's a new regional rate for all three of us.

one cup at home... crystal clear... soft pinnaples rice.. Mellow fruit nose.. soft thick viscous pinnaples.. dry finish.. light open alcohol... dry fruity finish

Bottle at home .... clear ... soft dry rice .. light open alcohol ... big pinapple ... little rough .. drying ... light bitter .. again little alcohol quite rough

Keyaki. Crazy name sold it to me. Sweetness, caramel, very smooth, interesting. Little bit of booze. Very low carb. Nice. Good on them for doing something interesting. I like Umenishiki.

Bottle from a prefectural satellite shop in Shinbashi. Pale blond colour, slight cloudiness. Not much head at all. Aroma is very herbal, lemon, floral, quite different, bit of booze. Taste is similar, quite interesting, little bit of vanilla, lemon, herbal, liquorice too. Slightly grainy. Kind of different. Interesting. --- Beer merged from original tick of Umenishiki Blanche on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.

Bottle from the Shinbashi prefectural shop. Dark brown colour, with small golden head. Aroma is slightly smoky, bit of soy sauce, roasty, bit of light chocolate. Taste is different, still chocolate roastiness in the aftertaste, but bitterness too. Initial taste is fruity, some sharpness, maybe booze, sweet too. Tastes a bit thin maybe, has the booze but not the body to back it up. Maybe one beer too far for me today, but still not bad. Should probably try again some time. --- Beer merged from original tick of Umenishiki Bock on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.
