Can from Yamaoka. Lightly malty nose, bit of biscuit, light floral hops, a bit lemony. Very pale gold, clear, with a lot head. Quite strong citrus flavor, sweet, some stone fruit, and pear. A bit candy-like. Not exactly a fresh sample, and there is a bit of oxidation too. Not bad, but too sweet for a kolsch, I think.

Nice hefeweizen. Little unexciting, but good stuff.

Light toast. Deep dark brown with a small beige head. Ally and dark with some sweetness but none of the toast or dryness I like. Still ok.

On tap at Buckskin Beerhouse, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out cheap peated smoke, little else. Flavour reveals notes of smoked meat, bacon and campfire smoke. Much more bacony and meaty than most Rauchbiers. Not too good.

On tap at Buckskin Beerhouse, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt with a hint of earthiness. Flavour is clean but mineraly and grainy, with toasted malt, a hint of sweetness, and lots of seltzery notes. Cheap and unconvincing imitation of the style. Lame.

On tap at Buckskin Beerhouse, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is very restrained, with toasted malt and cereal grains. Flavour is quite mineraly, with light toasted malt. Not much body - super weak and watery. Lame as fuck.

Can from National Brewery Centre, Burton upon Trent. Light gold and clear with almost zero head and a bit of visible carbonation. Gluey, papery and grainy aroma. Taste actually isn't bad: some tempered sweetness with a gentle citrus note. The gluey note is back in the aftertaste. Medium to heavy carbonation. It isn't bad, but it's a bit wearing after a while.

330ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, May '19. Brought by me. Thanks me. Pours clear gold, frothy white topping. Aroma is clean malt. Taste is pretty clean, light, not too bad, some corn, no real off-notes but not a lot to it at the same time. Not that there needs to be I guess.
