For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

From my sake backlog. Bottle @ Niso Sushi in Sønderborg. Clear with no head, slightly oily body. Quite mild in aroma, mild rise, fruity in general and also a bit floral. Not much yeast and alcohol are well hidden. Flavor is smooth and mild, just hint of rice, some fruit and slightly warming aftertaste. Medium to thin bodied. Nice and easy, not very complex, should not offend anyone. Goes particular well with the pickled ginger.

Can@ home. Hazy, pale yellow golden body under a foamy white head leaving laces on glass. Strong juicy aroma with tropical fruits and pine. Taste is light, pale malt, tropical fruits, hint of lemon, slightly grassy and zesty bitterness. Light and refreshing all over.

It’s Ok as a ginger juice. Not too sweet and not too much spices. Refreshing and well balanced as the labels tells.

From my sake backlog. Small cup from Vinmonopolet. Clear pale golden without any head. Aroma is quite average for typical Junmai sake. Smooth rice, slightly citric fruity, hint of melon and moderate yeast impression. Taste in the same direction, soft and smooth rice, a bit of citric fruit, hint of melon and grapes, umami, not much yeast and some alcohol. Balanced body with moderate aftertaste. Decent and food friendly sake.
