Draught at Ushi-Tora, Tokyo. Cloudy straw colour. Evident fruity estery banana aroma. Sweet and medium bodied with swampy banana and yeast. Truely phenolic and yeasty weizen, but otherwise it delivers exactly what I expect from a weizen.

Cloudy, golden color. Big bananas, cloves, but phenolic beyond belief. Very dry finish, but the beer loses so much for the out of control phenols, which one friend swears Japanese people love. Funny enough, I drank the same beer, in the same pub an hour before when a friend ordered it and it wasn’t nearly as bad.
