Flight 4/4. This wears a relatively translucent, cranberry-juice-colored dress. A pure white, silky head forms on the top and retains there long. Berries, indeed, play their tricks on my tongue. I'm picking cranberry, blueberry, redcurrant and strawberry. Nice cocktail, quite juicy, like from mashed berries. The taste is medium-sour, extraordinarily juicy but not salty in my opinion. Cranberry and sugared lingonberry can't be missed. A suggestion of blueberry escorts the package. Do I find strawberry now? No I don't. It's just not there. Wheat, yes. This is closer to a Fruit Beer or Fruited Sour Ale than a Gose in my thinking. It's somewhat tart, slightly puckering and drying. Why not also modestly acidic, but only moderately. The body is light minus, maybe even thin. The end offers berries, many kinds, the majority listed above. The duration is longish. The mouthfeel is light, juicy, rich in berries, slightly tart and faintly puckering. A bit acidic. Not salty.

Flight 3/4. This beer really looks turbid, its tint is copper. The emerging head is restrained, and it melts to a hair-thin haze on the top. 'Fruity, grainy, malty' is my description. Sweet nectarine and apricot are the fruits. Maybe a pinch of raisin, too. Biscuit and cereal follow behind as part of the malty universe, that means sweet-forward. The sweet package shows its potency also in the gustatory sphere. Nectarine, apricot, sultana, biscuit and cereal can be found in the cocktail. Not much different from the scent. The body is light. The tail is short with apricot, nectarine, biscuit and wheat. The mouthfeel is light, soft, smooth, a bit sappy and definitely lip-glueing. It's also rather confusing and messy but neatly gulpable. Unique.

Flight 2/4. Cloudy straw to light yellow beer. A velvety, white foam clings onto the rim of the glass. Wheat malt shakes hands with a drop of soap. There's not banana, no matter how hard I try. Pineapple, lemonade, banana, apricot and nectarine can be recognized in the palate. All of them fairly equal. Wheat is really soft down there. Remotely perfumy though. The body can't grow bigger than light minus. Unfortunately. The end is wheaty with fermented banana and mushy apricot. Stays in the mouth for some time. The mouthfeel is light, a bit perfumy, fragrant, phenolic, slightly dry and drying. Not a winner.

Another flight, now with four beers. The place is Prince Brewing, just a couple of blocs away from Himawari. Flight 1/4. Pours limpid, amber. A dense, off-white head adorns the top for significantly long. Graham cracker and biscuit emanate to my nostrils. A light-hoppy slam tries to break through the grainy wall. The hoppy pinch is tougher on the tastebuds. Bitter malt, graham cracker, grapefruit peel and a lemony twist can be identified. The body is light to light-medium, probably closer to light than light-medium. The finish behaves quite uniquely as the crispness reduces towards the end. The fruity flavors remain for a while. The mouthfeel is light, faintly crisp, somewhat traditional but also clean and fairly balanced.
