Japanese beer, originally uploaded by lucky lady emily.

This Japanese beer, called Hitachina Nest, is an IPA that matures in cedar casks. The cedar flavor is pretty overwhelming though. The bottle is cute and round (like someone we all know) but no icy-cold temperature can offset the taste.

First post, though definitely not the first beer.

I found it to be light, and slightly spicy. Enjoyable, but completely unpalatable when slightly warmed. Had already finished pizza prior to starting this bottle so I can't comment on how well it meshes with grease. A good overall choice, really.
