Hino Brewing Piwo Pils Polish Pilsner 29 IBU 5% Apparently made for a polish festival. It was an orange gold with a thick off-white topping of foam and a earthy stone fruit aroma. Full bodied, raspy carbonation and the taste matches the aroma. Decent enough but I get a chalky mouthfeel in the finish that’s a bit off putting.

Pretty exciting stuff. Exactly what it says on the tin but not as strong as I thought. Pleasantly fruity.

Tap. Honey malt, bit of caramel, crisp hops, resiny, herbal, stone fruit, citrus. The use of their own fresh hops is nice here. Not vegetal or too grassy. Nice one.

Tap. Hazy deep gold. Rich malt nose, slightly toasty, grainy, with leafy, herbal hops. Great body, rich and smooth with low carbonation. rich and malty, rice comes through too, nice hops. Bitterness is maybe a bit too strong, but well done.

Hino Brewing Blumen Ale California Common 5.5% Opaque orange gold with a wisp of white foam. Herbal me medium bodied with a smooth honeyed malt flavor. Again a bit rough but fairly flavorfull. Adding this I noticed that it’s apparently a fresh hop beer which is cool. 3.5
