Country of Origin: United States
Availability: Limited edition available only in select markets.
Price comparison: About $2 more (per twelve ounces) than the average domestic national brand.
Alcohol percentage by volume: Unlisted; around 6%.
Cute bottle/label? Twenty-two ounce brown glass bottle with an image of Iron Chef Morimotosan in traditional Asian garb silkscreened directly to the bottle in blue and white.
Appearance: Hazy orange with quickly dissipating head and no residual lace.
Scent: Vaguely toasty malt and light fruit tones.
Flavor: More malt than hops, with light citrus and berry overtones, and a woodsy finish.
Impressions: It wasn't bad at all, but not quite as interesting in flavor as the Morimoto Hazelnut.
Will I buy this beer again? I might; it was refreshing and drinkable, and would go well with seafood.
Rating:
3½ out of 5 cute beer glasses
