Kinshachi - Weizenbock

Kinshachi - Weizenbock - Aichi Prefecture - ? ABV - US Pint @ Bulldog pub:
Taste: This is a sweet beer, rich in wheat and some of that banana/bubble gum flavor you expect from this class of beer, albeit not as light as a regular weizen.
Smell: Banana aroma, wheat, sugar.
Look: A beautiful multi-toned brown, poured with head and had great lace retention.
Verdict: This "limited edition" beer was very good, and one of the few weizenbocks I have ever had - so all I can say is that this was a unique beer for me and I thoroughly enjoyed drinking it ;-)

Kinshachi - IPA

Kinshachi - IPA - Aichi Prefecture - 7% - US Pint @ Bulldog pub:
Taste: Hops make their presence known, nice bitterness, malt, has a big taste, butter, sweetness of raisins or dates.
Smell: Hops and toasted malts.
Look: A clear amber brown body, a deep caramel, medium body, a thin head, though with great long lasting lacing.Verdict: This is in the style of an American IPA and therefore is a winner in my book. Kin-Shachi beers have been good to me, this one is no different. I've reviewed this same beer from a bottle- check it out to compare. Recommended.

Kinshachi - IPA

Kinshachi - IPA - Aichi Prefecture - 7% - 330 ml bottle:
Taste: I got a sweet and hoppy taste from this IPA, detected malt, and raisins contributing to the sweetness.
Smell: Sweet to the nose as well, honey, and dried fruits.
Looks: A deep caramel, an average head and decent lacing.Verdict: I gave this beer on draft a positive review and it's no different here. A great strong IPA; I really enjoy strong brews- you don't have to drink as much to get going; the trick is to find that balance between taste and ABV- Kinshachi nails it here!
Pairing notes: I happened to drink this while eating a lunch box in which there were some caramelized onions, I couldn't help but to note how good this beer went with their sweet roasted taste.
