Deep amber-colored lager with very big hopping. Flavors of orange, caramel, and a touch of cinnamon. Rich and full, very good balance. Nicely done.

On tap at the Kyoto 2014 Craft Beer. The Yago poured a cloudy light gold with a pretty nice banana & cloves aroma. Medium bodied with tons of weizen flavor, really spicy with cloves up the wazoo. Tasty but an aggressive weizen like beer.

The imperial lager poured a beautiful amber color with a big hoppy nose of herbal & citrusy hop notes - delicious. Medium bodied with a palate cleansing bitterness. This is frikin delicious! A fest highlight for sure, the solid malt background gives the hops the support to shine with tons of flavor. Excellent.

330 ml from Tanakaya @ Mejiro. Pours hazy golden with a thin head. Has a thick and deep wheat aroma, a small hint of alcohol. Bananas, melon and bread dough. Taste is quite sweet that is balanced by spices and alcohol bitterness. Quite warming brew that leaves you with a dry tongue and a long lingering slightly bitter aftertaste. Good stuff.

330 ml bottle from Tanakaya @ Mejiro. Pours pitch black with a brown head. Looks good, although the head doesn’t stay. Aroma is quite soft and subdued - there is still some roast and a bit of lactose. Taste is also quite soft, with a fuller roast palate and some bitter spikes coming through as well. Chocolate, cocoa, some bitter coffee. Some kind of soft, milky or lactose background stays throughout. Alcohol is well hidden, nice beer to sip. Well made - and not your usual imperial stout, this one has its own character.

Tap at CBB. Glowing orange-amber color with a medium head. Very cloudy. Nose of tangy mango, banana, oranges. Quite tangy flavor, what and mango. Green tasting, and quite thin. It’s not clear what it is aiming for, and no where near the usual quality of their wheat beers.

Bottle - Sweet grains, ginger and light lemon. Almost clear gold with a thin white head. Light sweet grain, which is the rice, lychee and some apricot. With all the fruit this isn’t very sweet just flavourful. No bitterness and a rich mouthfeel. I don’t know if I really like this but it is an interesting beer that I would like to puzzle over again.
