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.

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.
