Tap at Gremlin. Liked this one a lot! Nice stuff. Wheat dominated, high maltiness, little bit of citrus and light tropical, maybe melon and some mango. Finish is orange and citrus. Good stuff. Easy drinking. Lightly spritzy body. Bit more creaminess the second time I had it.
Draft at Beer Komachi, Kyoto. Fairly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of yeast, wheat, light citrus and a touch of herbs. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Tap at Beer Komachi, Kyoto. Poured a hazy straw colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light yeast, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet, with a crisp, mineral, light zesty lemon citrus, light yeasty banana palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Nicely sessionable.
Tap at Awashima Souko. Hazy gold with just a tiny bit of head that lingers throughout. Wheat-forward nose with some light tartness, lemon, white grapefruit, pith and light tropical hops. Good carbonation and creamy on the palate. Some herbal notes, coriander mostly, with good hop bitterness. Excellent wheat ale and very reminiscent of the season. Has a slight lingering tartness as it warms up. Good Belgian yeast character as well. Very nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of Nagoriyuki (なごり雪) on 13 Apr 2016 at 19:28 - Score: 8. Original review text: Great wheat nose with Belgian saison yeast. Nice hoppy bitterness.
Tap at the brewery. Pretty, deep pastel gold, cloudy, with a thick, fine head. Rather plain nose, wheat, light esters. Rich wheat malt flavor, bread, some biscuit, light citrus hopping, orange. Crisp and refreshing.
