Tasting set @ Furusatomatsuri. Pours lighter yellow-golden, bit of cloudiness there. Nose is quite simple, nothing much coming out from there. Tastes crisp and has a decent amount of hops, light fruity sweetness. Feels a bit more than an ale than a lager - but overall nice to drink.

Tasting set ＠ Furusatomatsuri 2019. Pours darker orange, somewhere between transparent and a bit cloudy, some bubbles on top. Nose is refreshing, fruits there, crisp hop charater. Taste is nicely bitter and dry, surprisingly clean. Easy-drinking and hoppy pale ale. Light and easy to drink.

Almost translucent purple color. Somehow it was hard to notice that fruits were in this beer. Super boring.

Somewhat turbid, but you would expect it to be a lot more so based on the name. pretty lame mouth feel. Modest fruitiness but again nothing shines. Ok.

light amber color. Modest bitterness. Hops don’t shine but it ok and that is actually a highlight of their range.

For a wheat saison, you think it would be fairly turbid, but slightly hazy golden color. Modest amount of funkiness but pretty boring for a Saison

Tap @ YYG Brewery, as Chichibu Beer Shirokuma Lv. 5 -Orange-. Pours hazy orange, not that much foam but some foam on top still. Nose is herbal and grainy, not that appetising actually, feel a bit heavy. Tastes also herbal, not sweet at all, heavy and bitter. Some lupulin dust (or something like it) comes out as well but feels a bit harsh. Light tart notes closer to the finish, mouth-drying and bitter linger. Has orange in a sense of harsh citric orange peel character, not juicy at all.

Tap @ Watering Hole. Pours hazy orange, a bit of foam. Light plum nose, some cereals and oats I guess, also melon and herbal hops. Taste has herbal bitterness, not that juicy as I hoped although has a light hop dust tingle in the background when you look for that. Vegetable harshness overall, balance is off. A bit unfortunate that this one was not that good, maybe not the best condition, still drinkable though.
