Hitachino Nest Beer Pale Ale - Kiuchi Brewery (Japan - Ibaraki) 5.5%

Hitachino Nest Beer Pale Ale - Kiuchi Brewery (Japan - Ibaraki) 5.5%

A light cedar hops and malt aroma. A pleasant looking burnt orange hue in a glass. This English style Pale Ale has a fairly bitter taste with a toasty and sweet malt flavour at first as well as a nutty edge. A dry hops character with some light cedar notes is late arriving, builds a little as you drink and rounds out the taste nicely. All in all a tasty beer. If you are in Japan and in the mood for a craft brewed beer this is a fine choice. I'm looking forward to trying the other two beers from Kiuchi Brewery my fiancee brought back for me when she returned from her recent foray to Japan.
