Short-lived small white head over veiled orange-golden beer. Aroma as from preserved fruit, sucade. Bitterish, sweet, fade fruitflavour, some exotic fruitgums. Light, quite slick, not much carbonation. Oh well. Jandrain-Jandrenouille for this? Thanks to Stef!

Bouteille 33cl de Tagawa, Ixelles.
BB 12/2021, lot# 701.
Dorée sur léger voile, col fin blanc.
Arôme au bouquet fruité sur les agrumes, pointe de pelure d"orange - esters belges en rétro avec une pointe de grains et petite note rappelant la levure pâtissière.
Palais est léger, pointe de sécheresse plus malt pils - grains, caractère belge, classique et fruitée sur la fin, petite douceur latente qui perdure en fin de bouche. Pas mauvaise, mais je ne ressens pas tout l'esprit du samouraï.

Beer with yuzu (a Japanese citrus fruit), brewed for a Japanese 'bierfirma' apparently settled in Brussels (like OWA); brewed at Jandrain-Jandrenouille. Bottle from an Asian supermarket in Ghent. Egg-white, mousy, audibly fizzing, loose and quickly opening head, eventually vanishing, presumably under influence of the oils from the citrus; warm orange-tinged apricot blonde, hazy robe. Aroma of indeed fresh citrus (yuzu, quite mandarin-like in this case), orange peel, ripe peach, minerals, bread crumbs, banana, soap, dried dill, camomile. Crisp, fruity onset, sharply stinging carbonation, minerally, piercing through an estery profile with banana, peach and pineapple impressions but also notably refreshed by vivid citrus; supple bready and bit cereally malt body, light honeyish sweetishness on top but subtle, minerally effects and carbonation 'stings' throughout, ending in a lightly spicy and even somewhat rooty hop bitter finish with a citrus peel-like bitterness to it as well, next to lingering soapy-herbal and bready accents. Saison-ish Belgian beer with an exotic twist, decently hopped, vividly fruity and refreshingly citric: better than expected for where it came from, to be frank.

Alright. Not so exciting. Light fruitiness, light yeastiness, light bitterness, lightly interesting. Very inoffensive.

Tap at CBM JInbocho. Nice fruity ipa with touch of earthiness. Citrus, lightly tropical, yuzu? Bit floury, and flowery! Wheaty almost. Nice bitterness.

Tap at Cluster in Kashiwa. Grainy, very light yuzu, bit of sweetnes, maybe even creamy. Not so exciting. Not really very exciting for me. --- Beer merged from original tick of Rio Brewing Uijin on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A hazy dark golden beer with a huge off-white head. Aroma of herbal tea, yuzu, yellow fruits, moderate sweet pale malt. Taste of sweet pale malt, yellow fruits, yeast, yuzu, tea. Interesting!
