Draught at Qbrick. Made with the fruit from a Japanese Lantern plant that is native to South America, also called Cape Gooseberry. Light, bright gold with a medium head. Light fruitiness in the nose, tangy, with pils malt. Crisp, tangy fruit flavor with citrus and honey. Not too sweet. A light, decently refreshing fruit beer with good balance and malt character. Decent stuff, though I can’t drink a lot. I’ve only eaten the fruit once, so it’s hard to say how that character is used. The name in Japanese is far too cutesy as well.
