Yo-Ho Yama no Ue New’ee Ko-shin Noble Hop Ale 4.5%

Very pale gold with thick fluffy white foam. Fruity white grape aroma with a light soda bread grainy malt aroma. Very dry and very prickly carbonation. The taste is fruity white grape with earthy bitter herbal malts.

Ok.

Can from Liquor Mountain or Seijo Ishii.

Can. Hazy pastel yellow. Juicy nose, orange grapefruit, light coconut, pineapple. Sweet and juicy tropical fruit flavor. Not particularly heavy. Quite drinkable and probably the best value haze in Japan.
