Beer Flash: Kiuchi Brewery - "Hitachino Nest" white ale (Japan)

Just a quick post to show what I've been drinking: it's a 5.5% ABV white ale from Japan called the "Hitachino Nest." It's pretty thin, low gravity, but pleasingly mellow. Clean and crisp with a little tartness on the aftertaste, with low amounts of the typical white ale yeast or spice.

It's good, I don't know if it's $5.99 good, but it's fun to try a Japanese beer again and certainly a good beer for summer. The crispness and lack of yeasty aftertastes is a nice diversion, and it's something I could drink as a session ale at a BBQ.
