What a lovely aubrun brew, with a short head, but good carbonation and a full bodied flavor. A real pleasant surprise.

red/brown color, with a good amount of chill haze. light tan head that disapates rather quickly due to the carbination coming thru. The smells of malts and wood (cedar in this case), spices and sweetness are rather nice. The flavors are rounder than expected from a Japanese beer. The sweetness, spice and carbination give it a pleasant playfulness with sushi. The finish is rather sweet and clean. I will buy this again if the price can come down a bit, $7 for a 12 oz. in a sushi bar (ouch).

Very woody flavor, especially the aftertaste. Nice color, good head. I agree w/ one of the earlier reviewers who described it as an "odd beer". I agree, but that’s a good thing. Never quite had a beer like this one. I would get this beer again, despite it’s heafty $8 price tag for a 24 oz bottle.

Quite a nice robust beer, with a strong flavor of wood. The malts are very robust and the hops are spicy and earthy. The after gives a hint of ceder wood.
