April 2012. Bottle. Aromas of dark fruit and spices. Color is amber brownish with a white head. Spicy flavors with fruit and malt.

Bottle. Poured an amber color with an averaged sized tan head. Interesting aroma - rotted fruitiness, ginger, spices, tart cherries, caramel, and yeast. Tastes of the same with a lighter tart finish. Interesting. This one grew on me more and more as I drank it ...

Cooked pineapple, ham, caramel, and farmhouse aromas. Murky, light brown, with little head. Dry, earthy, nutty, and a little sour. Light-medium body, average carbonation, and with an earthy finish. It’s hard to say exactly where I’d categorize this beer, but very interesting.

Medium amber, nice head, clear. Somewhat sour aroma, faint cherry. Flavor is caramel accented malts, rich, and moves into a fruity and touch sour finish. Really interesting. Liked this.

Pours a deep copper/red with a big soapy head. Very attractive. Nose and flavours are sweet and sour. Citurs and malt vinegar. Mild chocolate and wood nose. Sweet candy sugar in the finish. Rare.

Caramel colored pour, light head. Lots of bready notes, some sour fruit, yeasty, spice, fruity and lightly tart on the finish. I get good doses of wheaty flavors too.

A constant lactic sourness that grows on me. In fact, nicely drinkable, also a little woody (I would like more of that) and a little spice (I would like more of that). Drunk fairly soon after arriving in the U.S. Premiere Gourmet.

Clearish amber ale with an everlasting, lacey white foam. Very strong phenolic yeast character come out of this malty ale whose alcohol remains subtle. Earthy, toasty malts are the foundation. Nutty/resinous flavours come across as slightly oxidized with stale overripe fruit esters (apple, pear) intermingling with the generous residual sugars to provide a jammy, if not syrupy texture. Pie-like spiciness, presumably from the forward phenols bring forth strong nutmeg and subtler clove/cinnamon touches. Reminds me a little of the Charlevoix yeast and its all over the place from start to finish. While residual sugars are plentiful, there’s a lactic character (yogurt) that hangs above it all, whilst its soft acidity combines with the sweetness to create a key lime pie reminiscence. Intriguing, but fairly chaotic ale that follows no direction, which is perhaps circumstantial considering its singular history.

Has some interesting scents, bit of peach. Taste is similar, bot of a astringent wheat and sour. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours caramel orange brown with a small light khaki head. Smells salty and malty, like salted caramel with a touch of funk. Taste is caramel and bready with a touch of sour fruit. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture and soft mouth-carbonation, Hitachino Nest Beer 3 Days finishes with a hay-like funk.
