On tap at Kuricali, pours a cloudy golden yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of the sake yeast, some booze and lemongrass. Flavour is fruity, with light sake yeast, lemongrass and fruity esters. I like the pitching of sake yeast in here. Solid.

On tap at Kuricali, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light lemongrass, some hay and a little Belgian yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with light lemongrass, Belgian yeast and lots of fruity esters. Nicely constructed, very clean, just not terribly deep. Meh.

On nitro tap at Kuricali, pours a deep dark brown with a large beige head. Aroma brings out toasted bready notes, very dry overall. Flavour is along the same lines, with roasted barley, light cocoa and toasted bread. Dry and smooth on the palate. Pleasant stuff.

On tap at Kuricali, pours a hazy dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted bready malt, not much else. Flavour is unusual, with a very light body, sake yeast and bready notes. Light and boozy, with that sake character.

Sample at Muracali, pours a cloudy blonde. Aroma brings out tons of cinnamon and light booze. Flavour brings out lots of cinnamon upfront, with medium booze and fairly ample sweetness. Really enjoying the addition of cinnamon. Very nice.

Sample at Muracali, pours a filthy, opaque pink with a bit of a head. Aroma brings out minty, strawberry-like notes. Flavour brings out fresh blood oranges, light mint, booze and light sweetness. Lovely gimmick sake, not exactly authentic.

Sample at Muracali, pours a hazy blonde. Aroma brings out lots of rice husk, lychee and medium booze. Flavour is similar, with light sweetness, aggressive booze and lychee. Nicely constructed. I like the higher sweetness in this one compared to the dry.

Sample at Muracali, pours a cloudy milk-like substance. Aroma brings out notes of milk, lychee and booze. Flavour is boozy, with notes of lychee and booze, with a milky character. Rough and harsh.
