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.

Bottle from Yamaoka. Nose is caramel malt, chocolate, notes of soy, miso. Flavor is sweet, caramel, cocoa, miso. Rather light in body rather than chewy as I dig a boxk. Deep amber brown is pretty. Decent but I was hoping for something a bit meatier and with fewer soy notes.

On tap pours out amber topped with a sand head. Nose is nice sweet heavy malts some toffee caramel a little pit fruit even. Taste is more of the heavy malts toffee caramel and a touch of grassy hops.

2018. These guys make superb European-style ales. He said this was a rice ale, but it's a weizen with a Japanese twist.

Tap at Molto. Light golden color with a slight haze. Rich malt nose, wheaty, bread, light hops. Nice malty flavor, malt led, creamy and full, with just a bit of a prickly, spicy hop finish. Great malt character, but not quite as balanced as a proper Bavarian helles.
