Draught at Q-Brick. Pretty amber-red color with a high, tight head. Clean, malty aroma with some caramel, cherry, berries. A bit faint until it warmed. Nice malty flavor, with caramel and a bit of cherry. Clean and now sweet, with a nice medium hop finish. Good balance. A nice, tasty marzen without being overly special—a bit light.

Draught at the brewpub. Frothy, thick head. Very clear and clean-looking. Biscuity malt aroma, lightly fruity. Clean malt flavor, crisp with decent biscuity malts and good fruitiness. A nice hoppy finish as well. Very bitter at the end, with the right amount of fruit and malt. To me, like a great South German pils. Excellent.

draught at the brewpub. Beautiful, golden-orange , thick color, cloudy with a high, thick, lovely head. Buttery banana ad clove aroma. Just a bit too much butter, maybe. Amazingly well-balanced flavor. Great fruit, banana mostly, and citrus, with just enough tartness to balance it perfectly. Smooth, clean, and edgeless. A spectacular weizen, IMO. One of the best in Japan.

Draught at the brewpub. Cascade hop and slight caramel aroma. A bit of butterscotch, just enough to tolterate. Light and crisp flavor, litghly buttery with caramel and strong hops, slightly too buttery. Dry, bitter finish. Not mind-blowing or surprising but faultless and eminently drinkable and enjoyable.
