Pours a dark amber, with a moderate head. I can&#8217;t quite place the aroma, as I sit here sipping it, I can&#8217;t help thinking it reminds me of Japan. There&#8217;s just something in the smell, and its not a bad thing here. There&#8217;s a pretty strong bitter, but not too much floweryness. The bitter does linger for a bit, lending to the mouthfeel of crisp, dry and almost astringent, but not sour. There&#8217;s a little bit of roastyness, but not a pronounced smokyness. I keep coming back to the aroma, it intrigues me and\u00c2\u00a0ultimately makes this beer\u00c2\u00a0for me. I think this is the winner of the\u00c2\u00a0Echigo varieties I&#8217;ve had. 6% ABV.<\/p>\n<p>I give this a solid 3 out of 4 bouquet sniffing monkeys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stumbled across a new entry at Marukai, this Red Ale from Echigo.
