Nomikurabe @ Oedo Beer Festival at Machida. Pours nice orange, lightly cloudy, some little foam on top. Clean nose with light spices and some citrus notes. Tastes lightly citric, good medium bitterness but mainly fruity feeling overall. Lingering lemon peel citring bitterness in the finish. Refreshing and clean - and definitely some Japanesque'ness shining here.

Pours creamy amber with a thick beige frothy head that stays for a few minutes and then reduces into a thin layer of only a few bubbles. Nice fresh coffee roast nose, level of coffee is high but just enough to cover fruity and estery IPA characters, as a result feels pretty dry. Taste has good coffee character as well, deeply bitter, not too much, malty body lends itself for some creaminess. Bitterness coming not only from coffee but also decent amount of hops used. Dry coffee roast linger in the finish. Actually much better than I thought it could be, quite nice as a coffee IPA.

33 cl bottle served in Leffe chalice. Pours hazy amber to brown, long-lasting head. Aroma is very intense: coriander, juniper berries, pink pepper. Taste is velvety (almost no carb), sour and umami, no real bitterness. Long lingering aromatic finish. Different, boozy and interesting.

33 cl bottle served in Leffe chalice. Pours hazy whitish pale golden, rocky off-white head that lasts little. Aroma is very intense: coriander and citrus are the main scents, accompanied by a hint of limestone. Nice. Mouthfeel is soft, mout-covering and low carb. Neither too fresh nor too bitter, but long lasting. Interesting.

Tap at CBM Lucua. Hazy orange-golden color. Fruity nose, lots of orange, creamy. Flavor is orange zest, sweet, juicy. Decent.

Tap at CBM Lucua. Pale golden, hazy. Citrus nose, spices like coriander, spicy Belgian yeast. Light and crisp, not much malt happening, spicy yeast and probably orange peel. Decent but underwhelming.

Smells like that mosquito repellent candle used when camping. Tastes better with black pepper camembert cheese. Brewed in Belgium, wow.

Bottle, a couple months old. Belgian yeast in the nose, red wine, honey, creamy. Hazy salmon pink with a tall, fine, white head. Interesting flavor. Wine, vanilla, wood, hony, biscuits, citrus. Yeast spiciness. Pretty nice but the finish is just a bit too bitter and rough.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles' place. Thanks Stas. Muddy yellow. "Green" fruity hops, slightly sweetish, strong "green" bitterness, medium-bodied. Pretty nice.
