Great stuff!

Yes, loved it at first sip. This is a stunning beer and one of my favorites. Not a fan of the Red, really. I've tried something else by Hitachino in an NYC bar and it was ok, but the White Ale is fantastic, and I'm not afraid to admit that I am no conossieur.

The Fringe Club in HK had it for a solid 8-10 months. For the first 6 months or so it was $40 HKD/bottle or 5 USD and some change. I guess they started getting desperate in the last few months because the price dropped to 25 HKD or 3 USD and some change per bottle. I didn't care, I always ordered it and multiple bottles of it and even converted some friends into fans. Went a few months back and they said they no longer had it. I was pretty unhappy to say the least.
