Teku showing dark gold with sparse white foam.
The nose shows moderately intense notes of sweet lemon drops and light butterscotch.
The palate is moderately carbonated and medium bodied. Light Belgian yeast influence and a few notes of grape with a moderate bitter finish.

Small white head. Hazy opaque yellow body. Mealy wheaty yeasty aroma, quite mild, with milky, banana notes. Acidic, dry banana and brett taste. Papery, sour aftertaste. Probably slightly infected. The worst is: it was probably good before the infection. I should definitely rerate. (0.33l bottle from the bus station in Matsumoto.)

The only palatable beer of the brewery. Mahogany color. Sweet peaches, cherries, pineapples and milk chocolate in the mouth. Nice hoppy start with cherries and pineapples. Still taste some chemicals here, but at least hops are there. More of an Alt than Amber

Cloudy golden color. Clovey bananas and some chemicals. Med-clovey body. Bananas and mildly sweet. Not poorly made, but cheap ingredients.

See rating for Pilsner and add dark. The first review says it might be infected. I had it on tap at the brewery. its not infected, it just sucks.

Golden color with an outstanding lovely nose. I just love beer with raw sewage, cornstarch and unknown chemicals. Like a science experiment and who doesn’t like experiments? Light body and now I can taste these mysterious lovely adjuncts I smelt in the nose. AWESOME. Too bad the finish is tasteless, I was hoping for so much more.

Small coarse light brown head quickly disappears. Dark amber body, slightly hazy, with some carbonation. Faint roasty wild berry aroma. Acidic cinnamony paper taste with metallic notes. Dry metallic aftertaste. Seems like it’s slightly infected. Should rerate. (0.33l bottle.)

Medium shiny offwhite coarse head. Deep yellow body with carbonation. Vague, mealy apple aroma. Dry, full, fruity malty taste with notes of apple, straw, and paper. Dry, grassy paper aftertaste. Nothing special about this one. (0.33l bottle.)
