Draught at Beer Belly. Spicy, firy aroma. Flavors of pear, banana, clove. Good hops--with a dry, bitter finish. Not like a wheat bock. Very hoppy, fruit, and spicy. Excellent. Creamy, wine-like, with dark fruits galore. Just kept getting better as it warmed.

Tap at Beer Belly—they called it an ale, and I didn’t doubt it at the time. Dark brown with orange, medium sized, tight white head. Aroma of caramel, cocoa, decent but light hops. Medium light flavor, decent balance. Hops ok, with caramel. Not rich or luscious at all, but refreshing and tasty. Nice caramel and decent hopping but not very special.

Draught at Ushi-Tora, Tokyo. Hazy golden, minimal head. Vanilla, banana and grains in a careful aroma. Clean on the surface, but with depth underneath. Alcohol mingles with vanilla, herbal spices and orange, restrained sweetness. All the time it remains careful and unintrusive, elegant and cool.
