Daisen G Beer Gold Aroma and Taste
This is the second time I’ve had Daisen G Beer Gold after first finding it on draft at Wiz Craft Beer and Food back in October of this year. I had an hour or two to spare before meeting up with some fellow Tokyo craft beer drinkers and popped into Tanakaya in Mejiro (yes, review will come soon!). Daisen G Beer aren’t well known for their beer designs, which Mystery Cuts Radio picked up on Twitter. Daisen G Beer Gold poured out a deep hazy golden colour and had a hoppy aroma that was close to grapefruit and a slight sweetness to it too.
Daisen G Beer Gold is a blonde ale so I was looking forward to slight bitterness that didn’t disappoint. It’s not lip-curling or face-contorting by any means but it is bitter. The malts produced a little bit of sweetness to it but more than anything, Daisen G Beer Gold was unbalanced with it veering between sweet and then bitter. There was also a little readiness to it as well which didn’t really help matters though the bitterness did return with the aftertaste.
Daisen G Beer Gold One Line Review
Daisen G Beer Gold is unbalanced with all the flavours; however, it is a good example of a blonde ale when it works. When it works.
