Jul 21, 2008 Bottle from kura-ya in Machida. Light orange color. Nice creamy white head. A hint of alcohol in the nose. Malty nose. Taste has some early boil bitterness. Pretty nice.

Jun 2, 2008 I really enjoyed this beer. Brownish red with a tall, hard head. Strong aroma. Sweet malts, fresh, bright fruits, and candied sugar. The aroma was extremely inviting. Flavor was almost as strong as the aroma. Yeast, malts, candied sugars, bright fruits, with a noticeable alcohol warmth. Would love to have more of this one.

Apr 12, 2008 Brillant red color. Green apples, strawberries and cinammon grace the nose with just a touch of sourness. I was expecting the mouth to be a bit more astringent than it was. Strong cinnamon and green apple flavors make things interesting, but the dry hopping does nothing for the beer and I wanted a tighter body. Mildly sour finish. Alcohol is very well hidden. Not exactly what I was expecting.
