Saw this once before but was too scared to buy it. Why? It looks dangerously like a beer I had in Sapporo which ranked as such a suck beer that I could not finish it. There have been very few beers like that. So how is this one? Pours cloudy yellow with small head. Bit of citrus and hop aroma, touch of funk. A sweet and syrupy feel mitigated by carbonation. Small bitter lingers in the finish.
Can’t say I really like this beer, but it doesn’t totally suck. I could do without the skunk, then it would be a decent heffe. I’ll give it a 2 out 4 ginga monkeys.
You’re brave… or foolhardy! I keep seeing that one over in Japan, but refuse to go down that road. Don’t think JDM microbrewers have quite figured out the weissbrau yet.
