Kikusui Funaguchi Honjozo Nama Genshu "Gold"

All four of these Kikusui Funaguchi cans are pretty similar, but each has unique qualities. The nose on "Gold" is a mix of banana bread and honey. Fat, chewy, viscous, and packs an uppercut that feels good on the train ride home from work. Fun fact: These cans are coin-dispensed from vending machines in Japan. There is a lot of impact from the 18% ABV, and the flavor is richly sweet with honey and yeasty tones. This goes well with lots of spicy foods because it is such a blanket of flavor and feeling. It’s pretty huge! WORD: Big WINE: Huge Reds/Sweet Whites BEER: High ABV Ales FOODS: All spice dishes from anywhere in the world, salty fare, pub snacks.
