Very drinkable amber. Nutty taste with a dry finish. Slight taste of copper and caramel. Worth a try.

0,33 l bottle, thanks larsga. Lovely amber color, lots of hoppy aroma. Malty sweet, a bit medical, a bit yeasty.

Medium offwhite head. Amber body. Hoppy harmonic caramelly firm malty aroma with citric notes. Deep firm medicinal mango hop taste with malty resiny notes. Dry medicinal aftertaste. (0.33l bottle, which, as far as I can see, says "Minamishinsyu Anba Eru" and "Komagataku Brewery".)

330 ml bottle. Dark brown with reddish hues. Tall white head. Rich acidic plummy and malty aroma. Quite complex. Cranberries. Some yeasty notes. Medium-bodied. Rich maltiness. No noticeable hops, but a huge malt complexity.

My Bottom Line:
This highly competent Amber Ale boasts spicy orange and devoted caramel maltiness in a joyous and quenching osmosis which ends in an apt resinous hop bitterness.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the clear amber.
-The nose is quite attractive and the hoppiness so fruity and zesty, it also suggests the use other spices.
-Balance is achieved throughout.
-This is right on style, and crafted with care; another quality Minamishinsyu product.
-Willamette and Cascade are judiciously used to good effect, but as Tim says, a little more bitterness would go a long way.
