The Veil Brew Co. Shibuya Sundae Tastee

Inspired by a love for Japanese treat shops, this crazy ale pushes the boundaries of beer. Candy like aromas of orange, yuzu, persimmon and peach meet vanilla ice cream in the nose. In the flavour these continue together with a vitamin C like acidity and a tangy bitter. Medium high in body, medium low to low carbonation, low bitter and a thick, chunky mouthfeel. The balance leans a little to the sweet side but swings to the tart side after the swallow. A very subtle hint of sesame lingers in the finish.
