Garcia Brewing Buenavista Pale Ale was a solid west coast piney and citrusy brew with a smooth medium to full body.

KBC Hop Idol Eggers Nelson
West Coast IPA 6.5%
Matte gold with white foam and an orange blossom aroma. Honestly, it looks more like a hazy IPA than a West Coast IPA. The taste is of a modern IPA midway between juicy and west coast. It’s like what they call a mountain IPA sometimes. The taste starts off citrusy sweet, then you get pithy grapefruit and tangy citrus before a cleaner bitter finish more evocative of a west coast IPA. Fun beer.

I got this in Fukui on New Year’s Day so it’s probably getting a bit long in the tooth…
Our Brewing Beron Juicy
Hazy IPA 6%
Matte straw gold with thin fizzy white foam and a citrusy lightly minty hop bouquet. Medium to light bodied with a very dry finish. I got LOADS of hops but in a green hop burn kind of way plus notes of prickly pear. It’s ok.

Baeren Unfiltered Bock 6.5%
I wasn't planning to do drink this tonight but I enjoyed the filtered version so much I cracked open the unfiltered version.
It’s a similar looking dark reddish brown with thick fluffy dense tan foam but I think the unfiltered is longer lasting and leaves better lacing behind. The aroma is more subtle than the filtered while the mouthfeel is much smoother. The taste is similar but I’d say the unfiltered feels more put together. Both are good, the filtered comes off bolder while the unfiltered comes off subtle and even more crushable.
Both were great.

Baeren Filtered Bock 6.5%
Deep brown with dense thick fluffy beige foam and a roasty chocolatey aroma. Medium to full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Apparently made with Japanese grown cascade hops. I thought this was great, really well balanced .

KBC Fuyu no Kimagure 2026
White IPA 6%
Pouring a hazy straw gold with a thick white fluffy topping of foam. It has a hugely fragrant sweet citrus hop bouquet. Zesty carbonation with loads of citrusy lime hoppiness and white pepper and wheat malt notes.
