A perfect beer to enjoy before a meal. Sakura means cherry leaves in japanese. The leaves are steeped in salt for several months producing a highly perfumed aroma. In Japan, Sakura are also enjoyed as special sweets during spring time.

2020 version, 5.5%. Deep golden colour with no head or carbonation. Aroma has funk, old fruit, almonds, cassia. Starts out fairly sweet. Almond becomes cinnamon becomes tonka in a sweet, earthy, spiced type of way. Later there's a great lemony tart acidity and pleasant fruity funk. Interesting but with the sweet spice elements it isn't my taste.

Flaske 375ml fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Sentrum. Drukket på Bergstua 22 Mai 16. Dobbeltkork! Den innerste har stempel fra De Troch Wambeek. Gyldengul. Lavt skum som varer litt. God blomsterduft. Smaken lett fruktig. Blir behagelig syrlig etter hvert.

Saurer Beginn mit gemüseartigen Aromen, kernig, Laub, etwas dumpf. Die Säure bleibt bestehen, bitter, harmonisch. Interessant, vollmundig und gelungen! 10/10/12/12/15/12

At Maakun’s. Biggun shared by Maakun. Cloudy/hazy golden with a ring of white foam. Flower petals, parfume, floweriness, flower, hay, vinegar, lime pulp, lime peels, unripe white grapes, almonds. Strong sour with fruity parfume sweetness. Always hard to say something useful about the body of a sour beer but the texture is piss quality mineral-like. Tasty stuff!
