Bottle from Yamaichi. Far Yeast’s newest NEIPA Peach Nightcrawler 6.3% A turbid brown which doesn’t look appetizing to be honest. However the aroma is pretty good spritzy fruit with the mildest of peach notes. Light bodied and dry with lots of hoppiness, the taste is minty herbal then peach fuzz and tropical fruits. It’s a tasty beer but I’m not digging the look or getting much peach from this, maybe it’s too cold from my fridge. I know it’s been on tap here and there but I’d say this isn’t as nice as the original still good though. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at Komachi. Nice nose of peaches, orange, mango, wheat. Very cloudy yellow-orange, almost too much. Flavor is juicy orange, peaches, wheat. Bitterer than usual for the style, with the finish being a bit harsh. Not one of the best examples I have had in Japan, but not bad at all.

Bottle from Yamaichi. Roasty, chocolate nose, some minerals, cream, light coffee. Belgian yeast character comes through well. Deep shiny black with a pretty tan head. starts sweet, chocolate, berries, cafe au lait. Bitter, roasty finish. This one is in good shape. There is a bit of soy / nato funkiness too. Very bitter finish is mostly hops I think. Soft, silky body. Well done, finally. Too bitter for my liking actually, but that is more a preference than a fault.

330 ml bottle from Yamaichi. Huge, spicy, cake-like nose with sansho, caramel, coriander, citrus fruits. Slightly smoky malt. Not ce but very spicy. Deep orange amber with a lovely, abt-like head. Flavor is sansho, on top of lovely caramel malts and Belgian yeast spice. Too much sansho for sure. Nice citrus, plus booze. Should be better with age. The sansho is way, way over the top and kinda ruins it. At least it’s not infected.

Bottle from Yamaichi. Again a dry, mineral nose. Possibly infected as with the rest, touch of chocolate, caramel, Belgian yeast. Pretty orange-brown with a high, proper head. Flavor is again very dry and minerally in a way that I hate. It isn't undrinkable, and not that pukey king of infection, so I almost think it could be the water, although I doubt it. The problem has been there is 3 of the past 5 beers from them. This one almost seems infected but less than others. Don’t know what they are doing, but I don't like it.

Bottle from Yamaichi. Nose is light coffee, corn, acid. Cloudy orange with a fine head. Sour orange flavor, touch of coffee, lemon. It is big time oxidized and sour, gone off somehow. Third out of four that have been off. Had a sip of a friend's from the keg before and it was much better than this. They seem to have a serious problem with their bottling line.

Bottle from Yamaichi. Nice hoppy nose of pineapple, orange juice, wheat, right on NE style. Cloudy, dark, muddy orange-brown. Looks like hell. Very bit citrus juice, mostly orange, rather acidic, sweet, fizzy. Decent. Not quite there, but good.

Bottle from online shop Yamaichi. Nose is cedar (sugi), with the same minerally infection nose as the Genryu. CLoudy, deep orange, muddy looking. Sugi flavor, minerals, some caramel and citrus. Not as contaminated as the mild, and the cedar helps cover it up, but certainly infected with the same bug. Damn, I hope the rest of the bottles are better!

Bottle bought online from Yamaichi. Deep orange-amber color with a loe, lacy head. Metallic, probably lightly infected nose, peaches, malt. Thin and metallic in that infected way, caramel. This was a drinkable beer at one stage and probably infected later on by some wild yeast. Not good.

nice light oak and white wine fuzziness. Good white wine barrel but still a bit unrefined. Reminds me of sound ba beers. Still I enjoy the wine barrel more than expected. It’s like a sub par left fielder grabbing a ball behind his head but juggles a lot first. Nothing smooth, but I am happy enough.
