Bottle from Tanakaya, Tokyo. Amber colour with a small brown head. Sweet fruity, berry aroma. Flavour is hops, tropical fruit.

Solid if a little uninspired for mine. Soft gooey caramel on the nose. Some floral hops too. Dark amber in colour. Decent, drinkable body - well balanced too. Toffee caramel with a soft bitter finish. A bit non descript but built for consumption than finesse.

Bottle. Pours hazy copper with a big, yellowish head. Deep caramel aroma with hints of milk chocolate and spices. Sweeter in the mouth with good milk chocolate.flavours. Hints of lemons as well. Finishes semi-dry. Another very good beer from this brewery.

Tap@Popeyes, Oct 2009. Light nose. Amber, low head. Nice hop profile on light nuts. Good body, very drinkable.

Draught at Barley in Nishinomiya. A lovely, glowing red color with a fine head. Fruity, hoppy aroma with warm dark fruit. Earthy amber malt flavor. Dry and hoppy with fruit. Great balance, light to medium body. Nice bitter finish.

UPDATED: FEB 10, 2009 Canned. Cloudy amber with creamy but brief head. Fruity gooseberry aroma. Sweet with light-medium body, there’s crystal malt and black currant. Growing late bitterness. A pleasant enjoyable beer.

Sampled @ GJBF Yokohama: Caramel, light head and lacing. Nose of light malt, full creamy notes, nice chewy malts. Full body, hoppy, balanced, good amber. Hoppy and nice.

@ GJBF 2007. Hop citrus and pine, fruity and a little malts. tasty. Hoppy, fruits, citrus, a little pine, a touch of floral, and some caramel malts. Finishes with a nice biterness. My second favorite amber ale, very good.

Deep amber color. Another hop bomb nose, this time peaches, strawberries and a touch of citrus. Citrusy mouth with strawberries and cherries sitting in the background. Very light body, but more bitter than the golden ale, which is good. Peaches and strawberries just linger in the finish. Yum.

thanks TimE! / canned; stamped 07.08.30 / the nose is orange, hoppy, a bit spicy, then afterwhile it becomes maltier; copper body, dark orange highlight with lingering, off-white head that is a bit rocky; sweet, smooth, and delicious--a little caramel, resiny and hoppy; a great can of beer--very nice!
