Tap at the Brewpub. Slightly cloudy golden colour. Big off-white creamy head. Aroma is fruity, melon, citrus, grainy. Taste is nice. Light citrus hoppiness, creamy, decent wheatiness lingering at the back. Little bit of a bite too. Nice. Quite interesting, medium bodied and smooth.

Tap at the brewpub. The best of the three they had on I think. Not very blond! Amber coloured, golden bubbly head. Aroma is Belgian yeasty, bit sweet, lots of maltiness, slightly fruity. Taste is good. Not as expected, nice fruity sweetness, bit of bubblegum, pretty nice. Solid malty body. Caramel too. Not at all as expected but very nice.

Tap at the brewpub. Copper coloured, big bubbly creamy golden head. Aroma is slightly spicy, malty, bit of cream again, some kind of biscuits too. Taste is good, light alcohol kick, fruity, stewed dark fruit, plums. Little bit of spice. Bit of a Belgian feel again. Somewhere between a tripel and dubbel, whatever that might be. Hides the alcohol quite well.

Tap at the brewpub. Dark amber red colour, creamy golden head. Aroma is kind of spicy like a nice brown ale but with a fruity sweetness too. Taste is sweet, in distinctly fruity, with some malty spiciness too, definitely gingery, lots of malt. Quite interesting.

Tap at the brewpub. Cloudy amber colour. Creamy off-white head. Aroma is bit fruity, bit of skunkiness too. Twiggy. Taste is slightly sweet with some bitterness at the finish. Tastes a bit like squash not diluted enough. Not really feeling this one. No taste really shines, it just seems a bit of a slap in the face.

Tap at the brewpub. Cloudy amber colour, big off-white head. Aroma is light tropical fruit and a bit of funkiness, bit of sour cream. Taste is nice. Very interesting. Once again creamy, big fruitiness, apricot comes with a sour kick. Lactic maybe. Finish is nice and bitter with sourness too. Quite a mix. Nice but maybe one is enough.

Lemon white 4.1% A cloudy pale gold with the same fluffy head as at other Kobos. The aroma is eggy, nutmeg and lemon. An unintentional eggnog beer? Medium bodied, wheaty smooth body. The taste is nice bread, cinnamon, lemon. The first kobo beer I’ve had where the flavor surpasses the aroma. I liked it, it reminds me a bit of Ichijoji’s Ginger beer.

Tap at the brewpub. The best of their beers today. Almost black, nice bubbly head. Spicy nose of coffee, licorice, nutmeg, carrot cake. Sweet and spicy, with chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, coffee. Very spicy but it worked. A bit too thin.
