Bottle at Guest Izakaya. Pours cloudy golden with disappearing white head. Funky, wet wood, slighty zesty and with some minerality. A bit of barrel shines through to give a touch of sherry, but it's well integrated with everything else. Solid!

Bottle at Guest Izakaya. Pale peachy pink with almonst no head. Fruity nose, subtle slight cherry rum profile with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. Touch of cranberries without that tartness, tannins or bitterness, very cool!. Rounded apple notes. Quite restrained and dialed back but that works super well here.

Tap at Guest Izakaya. Hazy peachy pink with brief head. Quite tart with loads of berries, a bit of peach and vanilla. Cinnamon is thankfully only a slight tone which brings a bit of dryness. Very nice.
