Still a bit salt-forward although some of that might be residual from the Pickled Mango. Otherwise this is a nice clean sour, even if it’s got the kind of nondescript fruitiness of dragonfruit.

Yup. Nope. See my comments on the Ice Cake; still no love of Li Hing, and the mango is definitely evoking something familiar even if it’s something I don’t like. The saltiness sits on the tongue.

Tastes generically toasty, dark; a bit of acid.

Nutty and strawberry, lightly tart and creamy, but I don’t necessarily feel the chocolate here, nor anything especially pistachio.

You can see how this is a more extreme Omakase, but I'm afraid it messes with what I thought was a really nice balance. This is still somehow not bitter, but the intense hop perfume and alcohol are a bit much to take.

This is nice. Lemon-pine with a musty (maybe coriander-tinged?) cereal funk. Maybe a little perfumey?

Ugh, did not really like this. Extremely reminiscent of shave ice syrup, and I never did like li hing so you could say buyer did not beware.

The reason I came. Bready, almost pretzel-like, paired with a believable taro-like earthy sweetness. Nice finish.

Mild, tropical hazy, lightly sweet and POG-like. Not bitter at all with a clean finish. I liked this a lot.
