Tap Information

At Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi, Kanagawa, a guest beer will be on tap on Monday, April 13, from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. This time it is Daisen G Beer's "Wheat Wine 2023". It is a Wheat Wine style with an alcohol content of 9.0%.

The caption describes it as having a cloudy gold color made possible by lavish use of malt, aromas reminiscent of white wine and citrus, and a taste in which hop bitterness gradually unfolds after a full, rounded sweetness.
