Bottle from Trader Joe’s. Pours a had that quickly dissipates. Clear golden color. Almost no aroma. Taste is, like the other fella’ said, prickly. A good bit of carbonation. Mildly bitter taste. Overall pretty tasty. Not too complex. A very...tight beer.

Not much character. A few hops here and there, otherwise pretty characterless. Not worth the effort.

This is a Happoshu, meaning it has less than 25% malt, that includes unmalted barley, rice, corn, starch, and sugar. It also includes ginger extract to give it its flavor. Light yellow color. Rather thin looking, with a very thin head. Weak malt aroma, decent amount of ginger. Touch of hops. Flavor of light malts, grains, corn, and ginger. A bit of hops. Ginger is not overpowering, and with the thinness of the beer, I wish there was a bit more of it. Not too sweet, though (like Canada Dry?). Overall, it is drinkable and vaguely interesting. Not a real ginger ale, by any means, but certainly more interesting than your usual happoshu.

From a bottle a few days past its "drink by" date. Black with a tall tan head. Appetizing. Sweet, fruity aroma, cherry, something sour, some metal, chocolate. Sweet-and-sour flavor with raisins, coffee, bitter chocolate, lots of burnt malt. Has a bit of a wild-yeast, sour flavor as well. Complex, but I think this bottle is showing its age. I’ll go for the draught for the re-rating. Nice stuff from this big brewer. Wish all their beers were this good.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear warm orangey brown with an off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt and raisins. Medium-bodied with roasted malts, dried fruit and perhaps also overripe fruit. Dry and somewhat sulphurous finish. 140908

33 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy deep brown towards black with light amber glare and a lacing tan head. Roast amlty and mil fruity aroma of a classic schwartz bier. Flavour is dry and light bodied with a distinct acidic roasted note and mild fruity accent.
