Commercial Description:
Otter Creek World Tour -- Next Stop: Japan. Japan is famous for sake, wich is brewed with rice - the main staple in Japan. These days, however, the Japanese are drinking more beer than sake - although the brewers still use plenty of rice in their brews. Japanese tradition calls for special sakes and beers to be brewed in celebration of spring. Here's our version: a pale amber full-bodied ale brewed with pilsner malt, Hallertauer hops, rice (of course), authentic Koji and sake yeast. Kanpei!

Appearance is a slightly cloudy golden color. Aroma seems to be mainly of malts, citrus, yeast, and fruity hops. Taste is a little different. It’s full of citrus and malts, with some yeast and spices. Has a bitter sweet aftertaste. Not too bad.

Bottle sample at Noogfest High 5. Poured golden with a off-white head. Aromas of yeast, dough, apples, and cashew. The flavor found much the same with a slight hint of vanilla also. Medium body and sweet.

A gold pour with a creamy white head and lace. Medium doughy, yeasty aroma. Light brown sugar with a hint of oxidation. A tad foamy but still a decent beer.

The aroma is almost that of a sweet wine - like cold sake. It pours a light golden ale color with a small white head. It has a unique, slightly sweet flavor, but the finish has a serious resemblance to cold sake. The temperature effect on this one is opposite - it gets worse as the temperature goes up.

From a bottle poured amber with a fair amount of head. A funky flavor probably the rice with a lingering aftertaste.

Bomber courtesy my buddy Ian. Pours a hazy gold with a thin white head. Fruity rice graininess aroma with a touch of mustiness. Taste is smooth pilsener style malt, euro hops and fruity yeast esters and a little sweetness. Odd brew, but I enjoyed it.
