Bottle Logic Brewing Titan of Tokyo

What the brewers say

“Tart wheat ale featuring jasmine rice specialty malt with dragon fruit and loquat.”

What our panel thought

“Nice depth to the fruit character, tropical notes with a subtle underlying earthiness. Clean tartness, a pleasant residual sweetness to balance, and just enough tannins on the finish to add an impression of bitterness.”

What our editors thought

“Spritely with a white-flower crispness in the aroma and delicate layers of citrus and hibiscus-like spice. Heftier in the sip, yet dry, as that hibiscus-like spice, light cherry notes, and a bit of citrus acidity make for a round but precise sip.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

10 Barrel Baywindow

“Beautifully clear beer. Playful aroma of bread crusts, lemon, and Juicy Fruit gum; crisp malt with some herbal notes behind it. Ultra-clean taste profile with a tangy-yet-elegant lactic wheatiness that shines on stage; pleasant lactic acidity and some grainy flavor, with hints of citrus and dry white wine in the finish. For a Berliner, it’s gentle on the palate; very clean, with low alcohol notes. Could serve as a ‘gateway Berliner’ for someone interested in trying the style but hesitant to approach a sour beer. Eminently drinkable—I could drink a lot of this.”

Cerebral Brewing Here Be Monsters - Single Barrel Select (Bottle Logic)

Right off, a well-balanced aroma with notes of blackberries, dark chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, and brown sugar. The flavor profile oozes huckleberry pie, molasses, and fudge all wrapped up in a cozy, boozy blanket. Sweet, but not cloying. A delightful beer.”

Partake Brewing Mango Gose

“Smells like super-fruity teen perfume or aromatic candy. Heavy candied perfume flavor is there, with mango—like mango-flavored carbonated water. Drinks incredibly light—seltzer-light mouthfeel, almost watered-down. Fun and a bit over the top. One of the lightest and most laid-back sours I have ever tasted.”
