    Good morning, advocates! I am pouring beer at a wedding tomorrow, so I figured I'd pour myself one as I wait for laundry to finish. As you read this message, just know that today could be the best day ever. I love you all, and I'll be back on Sunday to talk sh*t, watch baseball, and have some IPAs w/ you. Cheers!!!

    Asahi - Clear (Happoshu)

    Enjoying the amazing views of Nagasaki Bay, while drinking some macro Happoshu.

    I visited the Atomic Bomb Museum, and what a moving experience it was. I have been to the Hiroshima one too and I would recommend them both to anyone. We must not forget.

    Look: Golden hue, clear (duh!), and with a quite huge frothy head, which doesn't last very long however.

    Nose: Very neutral. No signs of corn, rice or whatever adjunct was used in lieu of barley.

    Taste: Quite balanced, with an upfront sweetness, followed by a hint of bitterness, and then again a sweet finish.

    Mouthfeel: Thicker than one would expect. Moderate carbonation.

    Overall: I know happoshus are not meant to be amazing but they do their job just fine, especially on a hot day after many hours of walking.

    Where were you? Okinawa or some other place? Can't go wrong but every corner of this country has something unique to offer.

    Grabbed a tall boy of the same Asahi Clear and I'm enjoying it in the night breeze.

    Nagasaki looks great at night. Lots of cool lights, bridges, buildings, and natural features. The landscape is spectacular.

    ...I've been to Japan once, basically a layover while journeying to Singapore and then Diego Garcia...flew into Narita, got to our hotel, enjoyed the beer vending machine and the crazy Japanese TV game shows, experienced the Spring cherry tree blossoms at the hotel, and even experienced a minor earthquake during breakfast...I'd love to go back sometime for an extended stay...

    Hey BA!

    Drinking Rittmayer 1422. They usually brew very good beers but this is pretty weak. Nice hoppy aromas but that's it. Watery taste, very thin mouthfeel and a very short, strawy finish. Hints of bubblegum are detectable at the very end.

    Watching Manchester City - Liverpool

    [​IMG]

    Prost!

    Good day everyone! Thanks @TheIPAHunter for opening.

    @The_Kriek_Freak It's nice to read about your experience in Japan. I visited Tokyo once, wished I had more time to explore other cities.


    North Coast Old Rasputin for breakfast again.
