Description
Daisen G Beer is a craft beer brewery located in Tottori prefecture, in the Chugoku region, just north of Okayama. Located at the base of Mt. Daisen, which is more commonly known as Hōkifuji in the area, the brewery opened in 1997 as an off-shoot of the sake producing company Kumezakura Shuzō and San-in Sanso Corporation, a company that deals with high-pressure gas. The local area is famous for its clear spring water, sourced from the snow at the top of the mountain, and its black soil, kuroboku in Japanese, which is said to be some of the most fertile in Japan. This fertile soil has resulted in Daisen G Beer being able to grow its own barley, in the form of Daisen Gold, in the spring; Daisen G Beer’s own hops, called Weihen Hop, which are harvested in the summer, and also Yamadanishiki, a sake yeast that is used in the production of the beers such as Daisen G Yagō.

Cloudy gold with a small white head. Golden raisin. Creamy sweet yellow fruit with a really nice pleasant finish. Hard to describe because it is so well balanced nothing jumps forward.

Tap at Before 9. Saison with Belle Saison yeast and key limes added. Crisp and light, very clean fermentations with good lime and other citrus notes. The lime is not overdone, but adds a nice natural edge to the beer. Refreshing and nice.

Keyaki. Aroma is lightly hoppy. Caramel malt, nice but bit unexciting. Solid as usual though from Daisen.

Tap at CBM Otemachi. Interesting. Sake beer type feel. Rice elements but also very grainy. Saison like herbal element and a touch of spice too. Little vanilla sweetness. Like a weizen saison hybrid with some sake rice. Interesting!
