Rose Beer
(England)

---

This is a lovely
reddish bronze
ale with a light
body, an
enticing malty
aroma, strong
initial
sweetness which
quickly fades,
followed by a
mellow
understated
bitterness,
leading to a
long, full
finish. Although
the body is
rather thin for
this style, it
makes it all the
more drinkable.
Brewed at
Suntory's
microbrewery
within the large
Musashino
brewery. While
they have
brewing craft
beers like these
(not to mention
some good mass-
produced lagers)
for over a
decade, Suntory
is still stuck
with its old
reputation as
brewing the
worst tasting
beers among
Japan's four
major brewers.
Sad, because
Rose Beer and
most other
specialty beers
from the
Musashino
microbrewery are
among the very
best brewed in
Japan. Y580 at
the Rose & Crown
in Shinbashi and
Yurakucho.
