Sapporo Creamy White

The main selling point here is the creaminess or foaminess. The sourcing of the barley and hops are touted. Pretty good for a 3rd category beer.

BioJapan 2010


BioJapan 2010 was held last week in Yokohama. No really big news from what I could tell. Mostly just a sea of BioClusters from around the world wanting people to open shop in their country.

Asahi 4VG 3rd Category Beer

This 3rd category beer uses 4-vinyl guaiocol which is either an off flavor or a flavor enhancer depending upon the product and your taste buds. Asahi claims this is an essential component of German Weizen beer, although they then clarify it is not beer (to maintain the non-beer tax status).

This compound is said to add a fruity flavor.
