disryThe fridge is finally getting full. I have to open it up.
The annual Gonou brewery's Hozasu. I still don't know how to read "Homasu"...
The aroma is mild, probably because it is just after opening. A little citrus, a little cemedine. The gasiness is strong, but not as much as usual.
The sweetness is moderate and the acidity is strong. It's the usual sambudo, but this time it seems to be a bit crisp.
The acidity is quickly and smoothly released, and the end is mild.
I would have preferred a little more acidity up front, but my wife drank it with more gusto than usual, so it seems to be extraordinarily tasty. It's as good as I expected....
