Can from Yamaya. Herbal, fruity nose, apple, a bit of chamomile but not too much thankfully. Sweet, fruity, herbal, with a slightly bitter finish and biscuity malt.Soft and silky with low carbonation. Not bad.

Sample thanks to Grumbo. Pours black, beige head. Dark chocolate, roast aroma. Silky mouthfeel, rich dark malts, molasses with a roasty bitterness. Lovely stout.

Can at Japanese place in Watertown, said like 64244 on the bottom, drunk 1/12/23. Clear, bright gold. Medium, white head, moderate retention. Some oxidation, peppery hops, hint of pine. Idk why I ordered this. Tastes lightly oxidized but more just old. Hops show only resin and light pine at this point though its reasonably attenuated and malty. Seems fine, I bet it's great fresh.

Sept 08, 2025: poured from 350mL can. Clear blonde with white head. Rice lager with very feint honey and a hint of skunking. Bland, uninteresting. 3/3/3/3/7=1.9

Oct 08, 2022 (5/3/5/2/10=2.5): Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear blonde gold with white head. Honey, bland rice, touch of wheat. Inoffensive, but super boring.

Can 35 cl. Pours a clear, dark, reddish amber with a frothy, beige head. Slightly citrusy notes atop some burned caramel. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Biscuity, toffee and burned caramel but never excessively sweet. Sufficiently balancing hops. Perfect example of the style. 040922

Can 35 cl. Pours a clear amber with a white head. Nose has toffee, fruit and perhaps a hint of diacetyl. Medium body, dry caramel accents and a somewhat crude, bitter finish. Sort of an English style IPA with next to no aromatics. 310722
