very cloudy, chalky white golden color. Very funky dry hoppy nose with great yeast character and fantastic kinkan fruitiness. Not overly acidic. Funky dry with tons of kinkan. Fantastic.

Pours darker, sort of brown, not much foam. Belgian yeast aroma, berries and a bit of spice. Taste is lighter than I expected, not much carbonation there. Quite likable, easy-going Belgian character, candy sugar still there, nicely drinkable. Spicy linger in the finish.

Pours whitish pink, lots of haze. Fruity. Yuzu peels in the nose, juicy and a bit of saison funk. Taste is quite well balanced. Yuzu peels and some spices and even more yeast funk. Good stuff, another great usecase of local fruits.

Pours whitish hazy, nice foam. Aroma is super fresh, citrus attacking you in full force. Daidai, kinkan, all of these Japanese wonders. Saison yeast there also. Taste is nicely yeasty, saison character pretty strong. Excellent implementation, want more than this small sample.

Mahonganh color. No head. Looks very flat. Milk chocolate in the nose but very weak. Fig and light milk chocolate, plum and cinnamon notes. Very malty, a bit thin. Decent depth but body

Medium amber golden color. Soft soapy nose with lots of Yuzu zest and good yeasty character. Medium body, low bitterness. Modest bitterness. Not as dry or funky as I would like. Rounded mouth. Didn’t feel like the funkiness was there.

Very light golden color. Thin head. Very yeasty nose with spiky sharp hop notes, with spearmint and oranges in the nose. Awesome spearmint, orange and yeasty mouth. Dry and modestly hoppy. Very idiosyncratic . Body is probably a bit heavier then I would like but still enjoyable. Almost a peppermint finish. Interesting

Bottle at Michigusa. Cherry nose, smoke, orange, apple, chocolate. Pretty orange-brown color with just a bit of lace. Peppery and a bit phenolic, cherry, smoke, lovely fruit. Bottle came out flat which detracted but very fun stuff.
