Bottle. Also called Yamizo ni mori Helles. Very fruity, slightly buttery aroma, lemon, biscuits, rich malt. Deep, slightly dark gold color, quickly fading head that goes to a thin lace. Very malty flavor, rich and rather sweet, alcohol seems present, as does something medicinal. Fruity, with good bitter hop balance. Can’t tell why I taste alcohol though. Decent, with rich malt and nice fruit, and a decent balance as well, although the medicinal taste and alcohol burn are strange and take away from what started as a much better beer.

Clear gold, small white head. A malty front with a bready middle and a moderate bitter follow. A very decent brew from this company.
