(’Japan’s first micro brewery’, ’craft beer the world’) etc. Looks: sky blue can. Place: bus. Authentic waft of clove, banana chews, slight floured rubber about the nose. A little bit papery maybe but otherwise exactly the kind of clove-peppered, lemon puff and banana-accented refresher I was hoping for. Bit thin and scratchy, some light earthiness there. Pretty decent, but then I’m a sucker for a weizen.

Draught at their brewpub. Pale yellow color. Banana and clove aroma; slightly sour. Thin flavor is light and grainy, almost watery. Not too special.

Tap at Kimuraya, Sanjo, Niigata, Japan. Cloudy & golden. Sweet citrussy aroma-didn’t quite get the cloves. Clean, bittersweet wheaty flavours. Clean & well-brewed equals Echigo Beer.

Mildly cloudy golden color. Lemony nose with a touch of clove. Light wheaty mouth with lemon and cloves and a refreshing dry finish. Like alot of their beers. Good, but not great.
