Fairly clear gold which is too deep a yellow (macro-lager like) rather than the opaque straw gold I prefer in a Weizen. The thick white head was nice. Sweet grainy wheat, cloves and maybe even hints of celery salt? Medium bodied with a spritzy carbonation. Eggy cloves and wheat flavor, not such a bad flavor a actually. Overall a bit too sweet but a pretty decent showing for this kind of crafty brew. I don't get the connection to winter though. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tastes a bit more hoppy than expected. Not exactly a new fav, tho...

500ml can from Family Mart. Drank from the can. Creamy wheat nose, estery, light banana and clove like a weizen. Biscuity wheat malts, very creamy and soft, estery.. Low hops but a touch of grass and citrus. Interesting use of wheat, like a hybrid lager and weizen. Need to try this again in a glass.

deep golden color. Big pepperminty nose with rich maltiness. The mouth is just a bit maltier, bit bigger despite same abv, as regular Malts. Nice peppermint in the mouth.

Can from Lawson. Drinking from the can. Usual bready buttery, corn nose, maybe just light grass. Tastes light, sweetish, light grassy bitterness, mainly sweet though. Fruity and drinks quickly. Maybe more softer and medium bodied compared with normal version, that's it. Not really better though.

Slightly inferior, though largely identical to the cheaper schwarz made by Sapporo. Premium my ass.

The autumn leaves have barely started turning yet here's a new winter brew. Slow down, dammit.

Can from Family Mart. 500ml. Nice citrusy Cascade hop nose, lemon, orange, bready malts. Clear gold, with a tall, foamy head. Very lemony flavor, on the sweet side, too sweet actually. A bit candy-ish. Malt character is not as nice as in the regular beer. Body is a bit flat. Not bad, but doesn't live up to the nose.

Draught @ Mount Takao Beer Mount, Tokyo. Sweetish, slightly grassy and citrusy blonde ale with hints of hay and earthiness. Decent.
