Hitachino Nest Beer: 19

Taste: 6 Finish:6 Visual: 4 Aroma: 3
Total: 19


Who can resist a bottle with a cartoon owl on it? Actually, Hitachino is a well respected ale. Nest Beer is a belgian white/wheat ale.

It pours with a small head. It is very cloudly. I can barely see through it. The color is like light straw. The aroma is of citrus and bread.

The initial flavor is very mild. In the mid are the subtle flavors of lemon and bread. It finishes with a bit of tartness. And then it is gone. It is a very interesting beer. It has all the components of an excellent ale. But it's so light that it's hard to enjoy it's flavors. So, either this is the perfect light beer for a hot day, or it's too mild to take seriously. I can't decide.
