This is not my favorite. Surprised it’s a +3.5 but I’m still learning that rating. I would have thought lower but let’s let it warm a bit. I’m getting a bitter taste that I don’t love when chilled. Brand - Tamanohikari

Better with food but still a bitterness I’m not loving. Not getting a lot on the nose. Bitterness on the palate. Long warming finish. Getting more alcohol as it warms. — a month ago

Liking it even more after a few days resting

Bitter taste gone. Bordering on sweet but liking it a lot more. 9.2-9.3

like mineral water on a hot summer's day...

texturally on the mark with pointed minerality & finesse, enough to think you were sucking the life force out of rocks from a nearby babbling brook. — 7 years ago
