Smoke IPA from Aqula
7 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
Tap at ibrew. Lots of smoke! Some caramel too. Tiny bit of hop character to it, bit of resin, but all about the smoke. Pretty nice though. Easier going than regular smoked beers. Maybe a gateway to rauch.

8.3/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 6 Overall 9
Tap at Amber Rondo. So good we had it twice. Spicy, cheesy, funky, malty, but very interesting. Great stuff. Brown ale feel but with some sorachi weirdness and nice bitterness. Couldn't imagine it's only 4.5%. So much taste.

Hoppy Weizenbock from Aqula

7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
Tap at Pigalle. Weird but interesting aroma of banana but some kind of plastic too. Taste is cherry, banana, bit of wheat, fairly easy going for the style and strength, but also some bitterness. Interesting. As it warms, becomes more as you'd expect. Banana, wheat, creamy and loses the initial sharpness that I guess was the hops.

Steam Lager from Aqula

Tap at CBM Koenji. Light taste, quite malty, bit of caramel, touch thin. Quite nice but maybe a touch uninteresting but maybe that's the style. Touch of light citrus later but not sure to be honest.

Keyaki. Aroma is rice, bit of booze. Taste has sweetness, wheaty, nice. Maybe the sake is a bit disconcerting for me as I've had some bad sake hangovers.
