Tap at Bud. Very strange. Quattro!! Nothing like beer. Fruity, syrupy. Alright. Extra points for reminding me of a long deceased soft drink.

Tap at Dig. Aroma has lots of tangerine. Not a whole lot else. Taste is good, tangerine again, light citrus. Bit grassy. Good stuff.

Tap at CBM Koenji. Caramel, light hoppiness. Aroma is more hoppy, grass and grapefruit, and it's there in the taste but subdued. Nice.

Tap at Watering Hole. Nice, lots of fruit, citrus and tropical plus bit of graininess. Light sweetness, but still good bitterness. Orange and mango maybe. Slightly funky mineral finish. Nice! Refreshing.

Bottle at home from Tanakaya. Pale blond colour, big white head. Aroma is lemon and grassy hops, wheat, bit of cream. Taste has lots of bitterness not as much wheat as the aroma. Once again lemon and a touch of cream. Further down the bitterness fades and the wheat comes through a bit more. Quite boozy, but quite nice.

Tap at Watering Hole. Dark brown/black colour, golden bubbly thin head. Aroma is strange and nice, very herbal, big floral, brown sauce (!), aniseed. Taste is equally strange and nice. Brown sauce again! Fruity, aniseed, dark maltiness too. Really strange. Some vegetable elements and liquorice too. Bit of everything. Maybe even bit of smoke. Really weird. Really great. Little bit slick too. Lovely.
