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.

Tap at Kyoto Ji-Biiru Matsuri 2018. Black. Nose of light coffee and roasted malts. Flavor similar. Rather light, lacking richness of malt. Unimpressive. I expected something a bit fuller and richer. Not bad though.

fairly hazy amber golden color. Nice cracker, Funky yeast with good peppery character. Medium full body, big bitterness with herbal and fruity notes dancing on top of funkiness. I like this. Bitter finish with lemon and yeast. Interesting

Medium amber brown color. Very dry almost astringent nose with strong Belgian yeast character, but as I shook the beer more I noticed nice apricot jam over toast. Light body, modest bitterness, with good apricot character, but body is a bit unbalanced. Not really that sophisticated as I hoped. Light bitter finish. Ok

Hazy dark golden color with frothy white head. Big frothy white head with nice banana and cloves in the nose. Medium full body, very carbonated, with prickly hoppiness and citrus character. Although the nose was pretty typical the mouth showed some uniqueness. Fairly sharp bitter finish. Very rounded. Pretty good for what it wants to be

Tap at CBM. Pretty, pale pastel yellow, cloudy, with a thick, fine head. Estery yeast nose, peach, clove, apricot, lemon, wheat, light banana. More Citra in the flavor, lemon, orange, wheat, banana and clove. Decent hopfenweisse. Crisp but full, a bit too gassy but that is probably the bar's fault. Good stuff.
