Tap at Beer Bravo Festival. Deep orange color. Nose of tropical fruits, rich malt, light spices, biscuits. Flavor is sweet honey and biscuits, orange, grapefruit, ripe tropical fruits. Very rich. Pretty tasty West Coast style IIPA, not really going anywhere new, but enjoyable.

Tastes a bit soft drink like. But that’s ok given the story behind it.

Soft and bready. Good maltiness but there’s something not quite there for me.

330ml bottle, drunk by the river on a balmy Summer's evening. Hazed amber orange appearance, good white head. Fruity caramel and orange aroma. Taste is smooth on the palate, moderately sweet with some caramel coming through alongside fruity apricot and citrus. Not bad.

Can. Misty pale complexion, medium white head. Not the most vibrant witbier around... Gentle floral aromatics, mild floral yeast character overall, soft carbonation. Ok.

Ise Kadoya x Yuya Boys Yukemurineko IPA 5% Matte gold with a film of eggshell white foam and a fragrant hop bouquet featuring prickly pear, woodsy pine and mild sweet tart notes. Medium to full bodied but finishing quite dry. Up front it is sweet with orange peel citrus notes and woodsy bark + tropical fruit hoppiness. The finish gives you that sweet tart thing in the aftertaste. Nice stuff. 770¥ at CBM Kyoto.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, June 22. Espresso coffee on the nose. Fairly light bodied with malty marshmallow notes coming through, not much coffee but that's fine by me. Expected a little more harmony of flavours but its ok overall.

330ml bottle. Clear pale gold, small white head. Aroma of sweet malt, grain. Clean feel on the palate, slightly oily with a sweet malt profile. Simplistic light festbeer. Ok.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, May 22. Misty gold, small white head. Has a nice fruity sweet character, hints of citrussy Japanese fruit, perhaps some familiar sake yeast notes. Pretty decent. If sake tasted like this id try more of it.

30th May 2022; Shrewsbury Beer Share Evening in Chez Sophie. Five guys enjoying themselves. Third beer is a bottle of this. Interesting, misty pale dirty yellow body with a wispy white head. Citrussy nose and taste with a weird, but pleasant yeasty/winey twist (Sake Yeast I suppose).
