Tap at Garage 39. Didn’t realize i hadn’t had this since the brewery change. Fruity citrus nose, some biscuits. Light and clean. Quite fruity flavor, grape, cherry, low carbonation. Ok, but felt a bit too sweet and fruity, especially at first. Later it really grew on me with its dry finish and high drinkability.

On tap at Beer Keyaki Spring 2014. A dark black pour with ruby highlight. The nose is one of roasty malty grains - not bad. Medium to light bodied the taste is bitter dark malts, very roasty - some said even too roasty though most agreed it was a pretty good beer.

On tap at Beer Keyaki. A bit of a cloudy gold pour with a thin filmy head. The aroma is spicy & nice , more weizen than saison but tasty. This rye saison was light & refreshing. Good.

Bottle from Asahiya. Served in a tulip glass. It pours a nice light honey gold with a filmy white head. The aroma’s appetizingly fruity floral hop goodness with a decent amount of malt backbone showing through. Medium to light bodied with the flavor being hoppy & lightly bitter with notes of citrus. A pretty good beer.

Hand pump at Keg Nagoya. Amber-orange, hazy, low lace. Nose of light caramel malt, English hops, grass, light tobacco and chocolate. Rich and malty flavor, light but smooth. Malty but not sweet, good caramel and light chocolate flavors. Very nice, and extremely authentic. The best low gravity English or Scottish style bitter I’ve had in Japan.

5% a Kölsch which a cool label. Served in a tulip at Asahiya. 550 yen A crystal clear light gold with a thin filmy head. A grainy sweet aroma. The flavor’s not bad, malty graham biscuit, mild fruitiness & a dry bitter finish. I don’t get much of a hop presence from this and suspect warm or in a few months it wouldn’t hold up well.
