Wow, this beer sounds so interesting! I can’t wait to find out what it tastes like!
最近いろいろやらかしまくってます。飛行機逃したり、鳥取の思い出の酒屋さんで頂いたSmog Cityの栓抜きキーホルダーをなくしたり、動物園でモバイルバッテリーを落としたりホテルでオートロックに締め出されたり、、、、。直近だと、ラーメン二郎亀戸店で46分待って、食券機のまえで1000円札がないのに気づいてあきらめてラーメン食べずに帰ったというのがあります。飲み会の幹事でもまともに勤められずにやらかすし、トホホって感じです。Living life just wanting someone to praise me for something, anything。そんな感じで、日々やらかしてますがなんとか生きてます。
Lately I’ve been thinking about buying a company as a side business. How great would it be to turn a hobby into work? A beer company. Hehe.

Craft Beer Review
Appearance
透明
Aroma
Orthonasal Aroma
Extremely strong star anise aroma, like Taiwanese spices. Smells more Taiwanese than Taiwanese beer itself. Very distinctive.
Retronasal Flavor
A faint Sichuan pepper-like spice passes through the nose. Not too strong.
Taste
Mouthfeel
Dense, heavy malt. Lacking the gentleness of a true weizen. Feels like a mass-produced beer. Gentle but not quite right.
Body and Texture
A satisfying drink with a subtle toasty quality.
No impression of wheat beer whatsoever.
The Swallow
Falls quietly down the throat like a proper beer. Slight acidity with unripe peach-like sweetness. Very clean, with toasted mochi-like warmth tickling the nose. Pleasant.
Aftertaste
Refreshing with a hint of acidity. Apricot-like impression lingers long. Malt sweetness. Pleasant. An autumnal freshness.
Bottom of the Glass
本体と同じ
Overall Impression
As a weizen? Debatable. But as a quality, delicious beer? Absolutely!
