My Favorite Greatest Beer Of All Time! HITACHINO NEST!

If you like light beers and Pale Ales then this is a must to try! Hitachino Nest White Ale is my favorite all time beer hands down! Hitachino Nest is an imported beer from Japan! It is hard to find and i have only seen it at one bar in all of San Diego (Hamilton's). I recently discovered that BevMo in Carmel Mountain carries it at 4.99 a 12 oz bottle. But it is GREAT!
Hitachino Nest is a somewhat hopped out Belgian style beer with a complex flavor of coriander, orange peel & nutmeg. Hitachino Nest White Ale has won a few gold medals at several beer competitions in the U.K. and the U.S. It is also Nest's top selling beer! (They also have Red Ale among many other types) It is very hard to find in the U.S. so look for it at a specialty beer or liquor store that carries various imported beers. You will not bew dissapointed!
