This beer is brewed using fresh ginger and is very, very gingery.
On the pour, it's a dark muddy, cloudy brown in the glass, with no head, and fairly fizzy.
There's a strong fresh ginger nose, reminded me very much of ginger biscuits I used to have back in England.
Lots of fresh ginger on the palate. I keep using "fresh", as it doesn't taste chemically at all, which I imagined it would for some reason.
I mentioned it had a ginger biscuit nose and this tastes just like a liquid ginger biscuit in the mouth.
This is an unusual, quality beer, definitely worth checking out. And quite strong on the alcohol too at 7.5%.
Kiuchi Brewery also have an excellent website in English where you can find more about their brewery and range of beers and sakes (they started out as a sake brewery, and continue making sake to this day). Their website is http://www.kodawari.cc.
