May 8, 2009 Bière située entre une amber ale et une pale ale. Elle a une apparence trouble jaune-orangée, avec quelques particules en suspension. Bière sec qui a une forte odeur de vinaigre et d’houblon. En bouche, elle est douce avec une touche de houblon et légèrement vinaigrée. Léger arrière gout de vinaigre qui n’est pas déplaisant.

Feb 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy honey body with an off white head. Aromatics are very spicy, ginger, incense, cedar woodiness, dry and lightly malty. Light bodied with a huge emphasis on the cedar, spicy ginger and light maltiness. Interesting brew.

Jan 21, 2009 Aged in cedar sake casks. Hazy amber-gold with good, foamy white head / Faint nose of sour malt / Medium body, moderately sweet, with balance leaning towards malts and with dryness on the good finish / Flavors of sour malt, brown sugar, and cedar, with pineapple notes / Have to appreciate in on its own terms and not compare to American amber ales. Enjoyed the second half of the bomber more than the first as it warmed in the glass.

Nov 28, 2008 Cloudy golden brown, thin tan head. Aroma of orange/citrus. Tastes of cinnamon and clove, dry and a bit hoppy, with lemon and pepper coming in late. Haven’t had anything like this since Tolly Cobbold’s IPA from Ipswich, which hasn’t been brewed in about 10 years. Worth seeking out.

Jun 7, 2008 What a lovely aubrun brew, with a short head, but good carbonation and a full bodied flavor. A real pleasant surprise.

Feb 2, 2008 red/brown color, with a good amount of chill haze. light tan head that disapates rather quickly due to the carbination coming thru. The smells of malts and wood (cedar in this case), spices and sweetness are rather nice. The flavors are rounder than expected from a Japanese beer. The sweetness, spice and carbination give it a pleasant playfulness with sushi. The finish is rather sweet and clean. I will buy this again if the price can come down a bit, $7 for a 12 oz. in a sushi bar (ouch).

Jan 5, 2008 Very woody flavor, especially the aftertaste. Nice color, good head. I agree w/ one of the earlier reviewers who described it as an "odd beer". I agree, but that’s a good thing. Never quite had a beer like this one. I would get this beer again, despite it’s heafty $8 price tag for a 24 oz bottle.
