Gift from friends, brougt from Japan. Many thanks. Cloudy deep Golden color with medium white head. Fruit aroma with lemon, slightly estery, olives. Taste is strange, but I liked it. Malt, olives, lemon, kind of wood, almost no hops.

Matte gold with fast-dissipating foam and a tangy herbal lightly sour aroma. Medium bodied, tangy malts and bitter herbal hops. It’s just ok/passable. I should’ve tried that Autumn Blonde… @Ibaraki Bakuon 2024

Tap at Umineko. Amber-orange, clear, with lace. Husky grain in the nose, toast, light caramel. Toasty, grainy, a bit rough and corny. Not bad but somewhat harsh.
Wheaty. Not exciting but easy going. Very fizzy!

Citrus and loads of it! Little malty spiciness at the back but other than that it’s full on sour citrus refreshment. Lemon, bit of yuzu maybe
