Asahi ぐびなま

Today's beer is another by Asahi (they make loads) called Gubinama. The can is covered in Sakura blossom, but sadly the beer itself isn't pink. It's a distinctive taste, very different to the super dry. It recorded a 'no - take it away' on the Gareth-o-meter, which is a par score for a beer. It's perhaps a little sour and again not very fizzy (this one hasn't been in my fridge). I'm keeping warm now under my new Kotatsu which is keeping me warm, saving me money on heating, and making my apartment all japanese in one fell swoop. No work today (woo!) as even trainees are given one day off a week; though I do have some homework to finish for tomorrow. Getting back to the beer, which has a nicely decorated can, probably heralding the Sakura which I must go and see, the aroma is almost sweet
contrasting well with the after taste.The printing demands that I 'enjoy to the last drop' and it appears that I have.

Details: Asahi Gubinama. 350ml. 5%.

(I did go and have some nice beer in a bar - I don't just waste away in this tiny shoebox aparto, I do go out occasionally - but I didn't take my camera so you'll just have to take my word for it)
