Bottle: Copper coloured, hazy, firm and stable off-white head; intense sweet malty-smoky nose with a fruity-hoppy background; moderate to solid sweet flavour, a delicate bitterness is barely detectable, full bodied, as expected; slightly lingering sweet-fruity finish with a mild bitterness in the aftertaste. Surely good, but too much on the sweet side...

(bottle, 65cl) Hazy, copper colour with a beige mid-sized foamy head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of smoked ham, also flowery and fruity accents. Sweet and delicately bitter flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Initially sweet and fruity malty taste with notes of berries, cherries and a present smoky ham character; sweet and fruity finish with moderately smoky notes. Nice one, perhaps a tad too sweet. 28.IV.17

Can at Imazato, 650 yen. Golden Amber in color with a thick beige head. The aroma is minty citrus while the medium body gives a lightly bitter woodsy flavor with orange coming in with the malt sweetness.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours dark copper with a beige head. Papaya aroma. Usually I don’t get that, but there’s a lot of it. Med body or better. Flavor seems quite papaya. With time there’s pale stone fruit and white grape. There’s a slightly sweet caramel base. So it’s not entirely dry, but it is very hoppy, and bitter enough to overwhelm the malt. It’s quite bitter for me, and I think it’s great.

Tap at OBF 2015. Pours hazy copper with a beige head. Aroma of strange to me southern fruits and lightly cooked/roast caramel. Med + body. Flavor has lots of tropical fruits, mild roast carmel; finishes towards dry; nicely bitter. Indeed!

Can shared. Pours clear golden with a fair frothy white head, fair lacing, medium body, slightly oily mouthfeel, bitter-sweet finish. Floral aromas, citrus, caramel, good balance between hops and malty sweetness, refreshing and easy going.

Medium brown with just a thin head. Kind of dullish, ugly brown. Moderate beech smoked with some of those toffeeish malts you associate with this type of bock. The malts aren’t so nice on the palate, though. You still get that toffee note, but the malts are thin...no liquid bread...and the smoke suffers for it, as it doesn’t come across the palate as beautifully as in the best examples of this style.

Can from the Sampler: pours light amber with a white head. Aroma is oranges, other citrus, malts. Taste is somewhat hoppy and orangeish up front. Significantly maltier than I expected. Not really my thing.
