frothy white head. Medium light golden color. Very clean dry nose with great citrus character. Very clean mouth, but the hops don’t shine as much as they did with the session IPA. The hops just don’t work as well. Slightly minerally and citrus finish. Good stuff but not great stuff like the IPA

Dark muddy brown color that isn’t particularly attractive. The nose is modestly clean with smoked cheese and a touch of caramel. The mouth is very malty with prickly carbonation. The smokiness is subtle but firm and comes In waves. Very smooth and clean. Fuller body than I expected. Didn’t have the wow factor I remember from years past but this is good stuff.

Keyaki fall 2016. Light fruity aromas with stone fruit and berry taking over. Creamy on the palate and sweet. A little medicinal. Malty with a slightly heavy feel. Sweet finish. Meh. --- Beer merged from original tick of Buna no Mori Beer on 20 Sep 2016 at 22:20 - Score: 5

Keyaki fall 2016. Nice light raisin aromas with bready notes. Easy drinking, but a nice play of bready malts and fruit-like notes. Easy drinking and well-done for a Japanese alt. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tazawako Alt on 20 Sep 2016 at 22:19 - Score: 6

Thanks TimE for the bottle! Poured into a snifter showing moderately filtered dark brown and orange with sparse white foam that quickly dissipates. The nose shows lightly intense notes of smoke and bacon with light caramel malts around the edge. Nowhere near the intense level seen in the Aecht Sclerenka. The palate is medium bodied and light carbonated. Flavors of light smoke and bacon supported on a bed of light baked bready and lagery malts. Finish shows a soy sauce and smoky bitterness with a resurgence of bacon flavors on the linger.
