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.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #155 -- Sapporo Yebisu Shizuku
Sapporo Yebisu Shizuku is a slightly richer and more full-bodied version of the regular Yebisu. It's fairly limited, so get to your local 7-11 (in Japan) to catch it before it disappears.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #119 -- Echigo Black Tea IPA
Echigo Black Tea IPA features an unusual amount of Nilgiri tea, which produces an intriguing aroma but also makes the flavors weirdly bitter.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #96 -- Asahi The Double
Asahi The Double is less than half the sum of its parts; in other words, it's not so great.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #78 -- Suntory The Premium Malt's Aki Kaoru Ale
Suntory The Premium Malt's Aki Kaoru Ale is probably the most well-rounded and flavorful of the seven Japanese autumn beers I reviewed.
Watch HERE on YouTube.
Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #77 -- Kirin Aki Aji
Kirin Aki Aji is probably the original Japanese autumn beer. The recipe seems to vary a bit from year to year.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #75 -- Sapporo Baisen

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #72 -- Suntory The Premium Malt's Master's Dream Muroka

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #71 -- Suntory The Premium Malt's Master's Dream Diamond Malt no Megumi
Suntory The Premium Malt's Master's Dream Diamond Malt no Megumi has one of the longest names of any beer. It is also well worth seeking out.
