Okinawa Holiday from Two Rabbits Brewing Company

8 months ago

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 7

I wish I was on holiday in Okinawa, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was cooler than Kyoto…

Two Rabbits Okinawa Holiday
Gose

Apparently it’s a collaboration with Smith Street Taps out of Singapore and used Shikuwasa citrus fruits. It’s a nice looking take straw gold with white foam and funky sour citrus aroma.

Medium bodied with a salinity and minerality added to a pronounced anoubt of funk. It’s got much more character than your average gose. Interesting and refreshing stuff.

Deka Melon Hazy Pale Ale from Two Rabbits Brewing Company

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Two Rabbits Deka Melon
Melon Hazy Pale Ale 4%

Made with melons from Shiga the very 80’s humorous label had me smiling. The aroma is very much juicy hops with loads of melon. The taste is the same with a light crackery body.

Good stuff. I think melons work a bit better in a salty gose. Nice summery brew.

Koji Noir from Osaka Kuni no Cho / Kotobuki Shuzo

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7

Not sure if this is a new release or not…

Kuninocho Koji Noir
Porter 8% 35 IBU

Cola brown pour with whisks of beige foam and a chocolate banana bread aroma. This smooth medium bodied brew delivers fruity notes (bananas and berries) dark chocolate (70% cacao) and mild roasted notes.

Very smooth and crushable, the ABV took me by surprise.

KBC Osakini Helles

Lovely gold with big soft foam which vanished quickly. Nice sweet malty aroma withnotes of dusty soft wheat. Medium to full bodied with a soft mouthfeel. This was really good and if I’d drunk it sooner after taking it out of my fridge it probably would’ve been amazing.

Nice looking matte light gold with thin white foam. Very fizzy carbonation on a light body. Citrusy grapefruit aroma and zesty flavor.

Good but gassy.
