One of my faves. Japanese white ale meets Belgian beer making. Much more linear than the Hitachino, with a sweet, citrus hops finish. Find this if you can. At $7 a bottle, it’s on the expensive side for beer.

A lazy Sunday evening is joined by a top-flight Japanese white beer, which is brewed and bottled in Belgium. A lovely yuzu note delicately kisses the mid palate, as the barley and hops push thru.

C’mon now... who’s your daddy? That would be me! Beef tenderloin cooked to perfection. No divorce on the horizon here (that’s a kiss of death if ever I read one).

Boys nite out. This just blew me away. Clean, lifted notes of yuzu and smooth hops. Impeccable!

Interesting brew here in NYC listening to Jazz. Tastes a lot like a German wheat beer. Moving on to try another Japanese ... a stout.
