Tasting: Gulden Draak




Gulden Draak


A: Um. Huge head happening here, maybe I poured it wrong. Thin fast bubbles streaming up the glass. Ruby in the light. Bright but dark hay color.

S: Roasted malt and sweet breads, hints of a citrus 

T: Light heat, great sweet caramel malts hanging onto that belgian yeast with a nice soft bitter finish.

M: Med body, not dry

O: Good and strong but not too harsh. Sweet and malty with a great carbonation.





Ready for another Please!

Tasting: Biere des Ours

Biere des Ours



La Binchoise

Honey Belgian Ale



Product of Belgium with basic, natural ingredients listed conveniently in multiple languages. 





I took lots of lush pictures!








Oh Tasting Notes?







Yeah, let me see here, I wrote down...











Meaty, nut spice. Belgian yeast.








And took a picture of my face to show that I knew I drank my beer and chatted a social storm instead of taking notes.


C'est la vie!

Iwate Kura Brewery



(get google to translate that for ya)


Here is a rough cut piece on an adventure through the brewery where, as though it was almost over looked, the tasting comes around at the end featuring tongue twisting lovelies like  persimmon lambic and 14% abv 2010 vintage barley wine in a boxed bottle. 

One of my favorite (an only continually subscribed to) beer bloggers in Japan had a more in depth plunge through the brewing bliss of Ichinoseki.
