Cask at Japan Brewer's Cup 2019. Malty, sicy nose, citrus, cafamel. Glowing amber-orange, with lace. Smooth, low carbonation works well with the rich malt. Nice stuff.

Tap at B&G. Nose is caramel, light smoke, maybe a touch of peat, dark chocolate, and wood. Rich malt flavor, nice caramel, chocolate, light smoke. A bit too thin, but tasty, with a bitter finish.

Tap at Bud. Glowing orange-brown with some lace. Caramel / treacle, butterscotch nose. Reminds me of buttered rum. Flavor is grapes, treacle, sticky brown sugar molasses, raisins. A bit of plastic too. Too sugary and no real wheat flavor. A strange one.

Bottle share @ Hanson's. Hazy yellow pour with some white foam on top. Nose is spicy, sweetish. tastes smooth. Classical saison with a nice balance there. Sweetish and malty, also has a good yeast character. No funk really but works well still. Tasty.

Bottle, 2017 vintage. Pours black with some light brown foam on top. Nose has light alcohol, liquorice and soy sauce. A bit tart and some roast there too. Taste has roast, liquorice and brownies. Not too sweet and coats tongue with bitter roast layer. Decent imperial stout, gets even better while it warms, nothing to complain about.

Pours hazy orange, some white foam. Nose is reminding of a proper tripel, sweet, yellow plums, Belgian candy-sugar, spicy yeast esters. Taste is somewhat more funky compared with some other ones that I have had, fruity, overripe pineapple and a bit of papaya. Sour-ish in a way but still having these basic elements of a tripel, sweet and with light measured bitterness in the finish. OK.

Tap at Bud. Hazy deep golden orange with a medium head. Oranges, grapefruits, pineapple in the nose. PRety nice. Flavor is sweet and fruity, slightly oily and candy-ish, with lactose, grapefruit and rind, mango. Decent, but doesn't need the lactose.

Tap at Japan Brewer's Cup 2018. Still had a bit of a cold, so my palate may not have been quite right. Dark brown, slightly oily and very cloudy. Looks rough! Nose of caramel, oak, quite woody, grapes, raisins, spicy, caramel or treacle. Sweet and tasty, with a slightly rough tannic woody finish to balance. Enjoyable stuff.
