Tap at CBM Koenji. Aroma is lemon hoppiness, bit of malt. Taste is similar, lemon is pretty much all that's there apart from the light biscuity malty body. Not hugely exciting, but it's alright.

Not sure why I gravitate towards this brew but alas. Orange bubbly pour. Nose is fruit and wine. Tastes of apple, pear, white wine, golden raisins, some musty basement notes. Not really sure what’s going on here.

Bomber from New Earth Market. Pours out a pale cloudy yellow. Thick fluffy head fades down to soft, creamy skin. Aroma features malty, bready notes and a trace of lemon zest. Taste is predominantly wheat, lacking the usual banana and bubblegum flavors, but still presenting the lemon zest. Looks great, but comes off as a wheat ale.

Bomber from the Woodland CostCo. Pours dark brown with a darkish tan bubbly head. Very nice aroma of chocolate. There's something else too - dark roasty malt - and possibly banana? Med body or so. Flavor is very chocolate. Quite earthy for me. Something in a small way making me think coffee. Banana does not seem to be in it. Quite dry. The earthiness/dark malt seems to be providing a fair amount of bitter. Good Schwarz.

Bottle from Lucky Market. Labelled "Deadicated Amber Ale". Dark amber, with ring of soft head. Aroma and taste lean hard on the malts.Very caramelly. Just enough sweetness, and right amount of bitterness. Pretty solid, and better than the score indicates.
