Draught at the Ichinoseki Beer Fest 2017. Deep orange-gold with lace. very spicy nose, sansho and yuzu, saison eyast, bready malt. Very spicy flavor, tons of sansho in mine, though a later glass was much more balanced, yuzu. Crisp, tingly finish. Decent with the lesser amount of spice.

Marking IPA Day means I should crack out my IPA glass and scour the fridge for an IPA. This is Far Yeast first beer Brewer at their new brewery. Bottle from Yamaoka. A dark brown orange with a dense beige head. The aroma is a bit rough around the edges but gives you fruity US hops. Medium to light bodied with a fairly sharp finish. The taste is a bit sweet from the crystal malts while the taste is tangerine and stone fruit. It’s ok...

Tap at Osaka Beer Fes 2017. Deep hazy golden color. Nose is tropical fruit, quite nice, creamy, nicely malty flavor, a bit light overall. Lovely tropical fruit flavor from the hops. Good stuff. I think this is still made OEM. 7/4/7/4/15

330 ml bottle. Hazy reddish brown color. Small creamy tan head. Tart fruity toasted malt flavor has spicy notes from the sansho peppercorns. Midtaste hints at berries and cocoa. Smooth, easy drinking and complex. Some yeasty, dry, peppery notes in finish. Warming alcohol as well. Quite unique.

Tap at the Gifu Fest where I was hoping to try Tapecut IIPA but found this instead. A collaboration with Transporter on tap at the Gifu Fest, apparently dry-hopped with Mosaic. A clear amber-orange in color with a big malty sweet and dank resinous piney hop taste, I didn’t get much of anything mosaic like about it. I rated it higher when I didn’t know it was supposed to have mosaic - they probably added a minute amount for marketing purposes... ...still a good beer though.

Bottle from Yamaoka. Resiny, citrus hop nose with caramel malt, toasty. Old school but smells nice enough. There is a bit of tropical fruit in there too. Dark amber-orange with a tall, fine head. Fruity, minerally, citrus, apples, a bit off I think, acetaldehyde and that minerally, airy thing that often comes with a light infection. Dry overall, though some caramel and sweet fruit. Dry finish. Has some issues, but it is their first beer to make themselves at the new brewery, and as such is not too bad, though needs to be dialed in a bit.

Bottle at Beer Collection, Bangkok. Very hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, yuzu, citrus and light herbal notes. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with light to moderate carbonation. Yep it’s a Belgian beer with a Japanese twist.
