3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 KansaiBeerLvrs (3465) - Kyoto, JAPAN - MAY 26, 2014
Bottle direct from the brewery via Rakuten. A bit of a gusher on opening which settled down into a beautiful clear amber pour with a thick foamy head that faded into a solid film over the beer. Nice aroma, malty, nutty, toffee, fudge, caramel - a real malt showcase. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. The taste is malty, a touch nutty but it also has a tanginess... not really that hoppy but alright for all that. A malt forward beer, better in the nose than in the mouth but OK.

Botella. Botella from some department store in Fukuoka. Deep amber brown colour with a medium fairly lasting white head. Sweet caramel toasty malty and hoppy aroma. Ok mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with caramel, toasty malt and frutish hops.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 KyotoLefty (7996) - Kyoto, JAPAN - MAY 31, 2009
Draught at the Brewerys restaurant in Fukuoka.
Very pale copper color. Caramel and toffee nose. Light caramel flavor, with a touch of fruit and some cardboard. Thin and rather tasteless. Not much bad flavor, just almost no taste, and just about no hops. Deficient.
