A: Weathered stale orange coloring shows a good and healthy dose of carbonation within. Fizzy light tan head is a bit washy and weak on the hold, quickly lapsing. No window dressing.
S: Sweet caramel malt and fresh flowers, earthy tulips come first on the aroma. Some sweet toffee is met with ginger ale and honey of medium strength.
T: The flavor was sweet as with the nose, caramel, some honey syrup, and some toffee malts. Fresh wet flowers of roses and tulips with some sweet toasty grains rounds out.
M: The mouthful was decent, medium, syrupy, and honey like, a good depth with a light presence of carbonation.
O: Overall a unique experience, a Japanese beer with evident american influence. Sweet malt and honey base, thick mouthful, with a bit of caramel and fresh flowers. The honey caramel like base stands out the most here.
