Bouteille 33cl offerte par KansaiBeerLvrs, merci à toi Philippe. Couleur est légère et tire sur l’orange. Col reste blanc modéré. Arôme met de suite à profit de belles effluves de racine de wasabi sans pour cela tomber dans le surfait - reste que cela s’est peut-être atténué avec le temps? En retrait, je note aussi des effluves maltées qui restent plus dominantes entre pils-pâle, houblon noble minime sur son impact. Retrouve un léger profil de wasabi que je trouve fort plaisant. Le tout, dû à l’age?, est modéré facile à boire, et vu la description je m’attendais à tomber dans l’extrême.

Hop Relax IPA 6% I saw this bottle at Kyoto Isetan and picked it up. Once home, a little more research told me it was a Mitsukoshi Isetan Exclusive made for a Tokyo Feel the Craft beer event in early September. 500 yen a bottle wasn’t breaking the bank so I picked it up. A dull brass colored poured with a thick foamy light beige head. The aroma is malty sweet with earthy pine bark, sweet tarts, citrus and biscuits. Malt forward and a bit odd. The taste is like a ramped up earthy UK style IPA - earthy hoppiness, biscuity malts and a sweet finish while the aftertaste is white peppery bitterness. An interesting beer but it seems to have too many different things going on so it doesn’t really come together in my opinion. Worth a try though.

Bottle@yesprs - Gusher! Gushes golden orange with biiiiig white head. Aroma and taste is sweet malty, caramel, some herbal hoppy notes, but artificial sour medicinal taste over riding this for me.

On tap at Watering Hole. Clear golden color with a nice soapy white head. Aromas of wasabi, earth, grass and gobo (burdock root). Really deep earthy smell with this one. Quite peppery but refreshing with the gobo really standing out as it warms up. The wasabi is there but not overly assertive. Nice peppery finish that lingers.

Bottle brought back from Japan. Pours out black topped with a small tan head. Nose is roast malts sweet milk chocolate smoke and a touch of coffee.TaTaste is more of the nice sweet milk chocolate and light smoke touch. Not a big fan of smokey beers but this one is just the right amount.

Drank at Snow Monkey’s Festival 2015. hazy amber big ginger nose. The ginger dominates and overwhelms the beer.
