From my sake backlog. Sample @ office. Clear, pale straw yellow, almost like water with a few short lived bubbles. Clean and weak aroma, hint of green apple and peach. No alcohol. Taste is sweet, smooth, mild fruity, umami and hint of citric fruit. Balanced body. Nice smooth aftertaste with almost no alcohol. Very elegant, complex and probably perfect for someone new to sake.

From my sake backlog. Bottle, courtesy of gunnfryd. Clear, pale straw yellow body with a slightly oily texture. No head of course as expected. Looks close to perfect for the style. Strong aroma, citric fruit, matured pear, mild wood, distinct and warming alcohol and hint of petroleum. Taste has sweet citric fruit, pear, hint of marzipan, wood and slightly sharp, warming alcohol. Body feels well balanced with medium lasting aftertaste. Experiencing my first Taru style sake this was interesting, the mature sake flavor is obvious but the cedarwood impact where less than expected, probably not a disadvantage, I think. All over a fair balanced and nice sake for sipping and relaxing. Perhaps a bit domination at the alcoholic part but all-over fine sake if enjoyed as I’s made for with respect for the art and not just a quick sip during a massive beer tasting in boozer ticker style.

Bottle@SBWF2018. Kind of a bit hazy water colour with no head, many bubbles. Aroma is citrus, rice, some mild grapes and a bit herbal tones. Flavour is grapes, herbs, some rice and mild honeyish sweetness to it. Smooth and refreshing.

Bottle@SBWF2018. Water colour with no head. Aroma is spicy, some mild alcohol sweetness as well as some herbal tones. Flavour is pretty much following the pattern of the aroma. Fennel like elements in the finish.

Bottle, 72cl, at Jæren Ølfestival. A clear one, pale straw in color, still and headless. The aroma has lots of cedar, with generic fruityness and a faint hint of rice. Quite alcoholic. It’s full-bodied, warming and soft on the palate, still, with a whole lot of cedar woodiness. Alcohol, fruityness and some rice. Pear, citrus hints and some melon. Lasting woody and fruity finish. Quite nice this one, although a bit too alcoholic and woody. Still nice though. And as this was the only RB style I was missing, it was a good feeling anyway. 220813
