Ichijoji Red Ale 6% 30 IBU Deep red verging on brown with a barely beige head, possibly off-white? Very minimal so hard to tell. Mild biscuity and hoppy herbal aroma. Medium bodied and at first I felt homebrew like and kind of rough but paired with food that vanished and I got semi-sweet malty caramel, biscuit and pepper with a herbal hop bite. Solid.

On tap at their stall during Gion Matsuri. 500 yen a small glass. Ichijoji Red Ale 6%
A deep reddish brown that verges on black with a creamy off-white head. Malty earthy and sleep hurly yeasty aroma. The tast is a piquante brown malt with nuts and dark bread. The finish is a bit bitter hops giving herbal notes. Pretty good kind of reminds me of a scotch ale, looks like it has evolved since last March.3.3 July 2016
-------update in February 2017-------------
A clear red-brown color with a thick creamy head of foam that evokes Guiness. A malt toffee aroma on a smooth and fairl full body - luscious. The taste is full of biscuit and toffee malt but with a sharp finish. Eminently quaffable so it is no surprise that it won Bronze at the IBC n 2016. 3.6 So let’s split the difference to 3.5

Ichijoji Imperial Stout 9% 50 IBU Pitch black with a filmy beige top and roasty soy aroma. Full bodied with lots of savory soy/umami. Big roasty notes finish up silky in such a way the body suddenly seems light. Good.

Tap at Ichiya. I think it's the first new beer from their new brewery. Hazy gold with lace. Dank, citrus nose, honey malts and biscuits. Nice tropical fruit and dank Mosaic flavor, rich malt. Crisp and nice.

Tap at Ichiya. Malty again. Almost British. Bitterness is pleasant and not overpowering. Touch of booze further down. Pine, touch of resin, but quite timid.

Tap at Ichiya. Pleasant aroma of roast. Touch of coffee, chocolate there too. Taste has initial roasty bite then smooth chocolatey finish. Pretty nice.

Tap at Ichiya. Nice. Easy drinking. Lightly spicy, wheaty, touch of citrus. Fairly creamy too. Bit unexciting though, but maybe that comes with the style. Good starter beer though.

Tap at Ichiya. Fairly low carb. Smooth and real ale like almost. Hints of ginger but not overpowering. Malty backbone balances the spice. Nice
