Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #246 -- Nagahama Starlight Rendezvous / 長濱浪漫ビールスターライトランデヴ
Nagahama Starlight Rendezvous / 長濱浪漫ビールスターライトランデヴ is a big foamy yeasty beast. It's a 10% Belgian Strong Ale which could do with a bit more flavor and aroma complexity and maybe less alcoholic heat.
You can watch my YouTube review by clicking HERE.
Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #245 -- Nagahama Kurenai Amber Ale
Nagahama Kuremai Amber Ale / 長濱浪漫ビール 紅アンバーエール. This beer is a surprising blend of a Flanders Red and an amber ale, and I'm not sure if the red aspect is intentional or an accident.
My YouTube review is HERE.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #244 -- Nagahama Lemon Hop IPA
Nagahama Lemon Hop IPA is the brewery's latest limited release. It's really more of a malty English-style IPA than a citrusy one.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #243 -- Suntory The Premium Malt’s Jozoka No Okurimono 2019 Winter Limited
Suntory The Premium Malt’s Jozoka No Okurimono 2019 Winter Limited... whew! A very long name for a beer that is not so long on quality. Being a Premium Malt's beer (please don't ask me about the misplaced apostrophe), it is certainly not bad, but just a bit short on flavor for a beer that is supposedly the maker's "gift" for the winter season.
Enough already. Click HERE for my YouTube review.

Coopers Best Extra Stout is, indeed, the best of Cooper's regular line of beers.
Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #241 -- Coopers Sparkling Ale
Coopers Sparkling Ale doesn't really sparkle. It is an Australian style beer, with loads of residual yeast for bottle fermentation.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #216 Liefmans Fruitesse On The Rocks
Liefmans Fruitesse On The Rocks is a fruit beer that takes the fruit too seriously and leaves the beer behind. "On The Rocks," .... perhaps a marketing technique to make the beer appeal to a wider group of drinkers.
Well, enough already,... Click HERE for my YouTube review.
