Tap at their Grand Festa stand. Hazy pale gold. Malty nose, bread, Belgian yeast, estery fruits and spice. Spicy yeast flavor with nice fruitiness, quite bitter. Decent but not as interesting as the other two.

Tap at their Stand in front of the station. Golden orange. Bright citrus hop on the nose with creamy wheat. Crisp, bright, nice hop flavor, wheat comes through great, nicely bitter finish. Nailed it.

Tap at their stand in front of the station. Dark brown with red tints. Nose is ginger, chocolate, orange and lemon. Nice balance, ginger blends well with the chocolate and caramel notes and the citrusy hops. Not particularly roasty, bitter hop finish. Fun beer.

Tap at Free Spirits. Collaboration between the 4 Himeji breweries. Clear gold with lace. Clean and malty nose with light citrus hops. Simple, some citrus and honey biscuits in the flavor. No problems but a bit boring.

Grainy and lightly fruity. Touch of cream. Maybe a touch thin. But I like it!

Sounds weird but works. But maybe ginger gets submerged by the hops. Nice though!

Soft and low on fizz. Taste is alright though.
