From the cask at Beer Belly Edobori. Dark amber-orange, flat. Fruity nose, milky, with citrus and caramel. Soft malt flavor, with vanilla, orange, caramel. Nightly balanced fruitiness. Flat body and a bit too soft and thin. Nice fruit and balance.

Draft at Craft Beer Base. An excellent beer. It is a nice spicy white with yuzu flavors woven into it. I agree with maekchu, it has definitely gotten better with a nicer balance of flavors. If you have the chance it is worth trying out.

amber color. Clean, lightly fruity, slightly metallic nose. Light fruity body, very clean decent bitterness and going towards a bock. Really interesting with fairly aggressive bitterness. I would like to see a 6.5 or 7% verison of this beer, but regardless excellent

On tap for Ant N Bee’s 2nd Anniversary party. My god, this is a thing of beauty. Rich, dark, mildly sweet, big coffee flavors, but never over the top. In the background is dark chocolate and decent roastiness. Alcohol well hidden, well balanced with moderately aggressive hoppiness. Lingering coffee and dark chocolate finish. Pure yum. Five people I was with ordered this beer and everyone said this was the beer of the night. Fantastic.

Draught at Tenma. Nice citrus hop nose with crackery pilsner malts. Sweet malt flavor is very well balanced by the cascade hops. Nice citrus, good bitterness. Crisp and delicious. Very well done.

Bottled. Hazy golden, mid sized head. Phenolic doughy nose. Sweetish with light-medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Laid back malt character with plenty of dough. Low hop rate, and notes of glue. Low bitterness.

From the cask at Higobashi. Cloudy light brown with lace. Malty nose, caramel, a little butter, fruity—not clearly ume. Fruity, sweet, tangy flavor with a bitter finish. Nice ume tang, but there could be more. If I wasn’t told it was ume, I might not have guessed. Too much diacetyl as well. Nice hop finish, though almost no hop nose or flavor. Quite sweet. Needs a bit of tweaking to bring out the sour ume flavors more.
