This beer is "Bakumatsu no Beer" (幕末のビール) which means "End of an Era Beer", and the name of the beer is "Koumin Bakushu" - I don't know what it is with Japanese companies, but their names for beers and sakes can be really confusing.Location : Japan > Itami

This brewery is actually mainly a Sake brewery, called Shirayuki - even the names of the breweries are complicated...is it Konishi Brewery or Shirayuki? It's both. (!?!)
Anyway, this is a toffee, caramel coloured beer with a frothy white head.
It has a fresh, clean malty nose with some floral hops.
On the palate it has a creamy texture and a malty taste.
It's quite dry with some bitterness on the aftertaste. It reminds me of a British bitter, like a Tetleys or something.
A pretty good beer but a little expensive for a Japanese beer (bought in Japan) at ￥600 ($6) a bottle. Usually you'd get a Japanese beer, even a craft beer for about ￥400 ($4).
