The bullet is bit: that tiger-brew I've been bragging about has finally got a name, and a label to go with it.
Thanks to the lovely Kazuyo-sana, my ham-fisted attempts at making this beer sound Japanese have come to fruition, and I hereby declare its name to be Kohaku.
Kohaku means (among other things) "amber", and the kanji themselves mean "tiger" and "Belgium". So, with Nihonnese poetics applies, this would come to mean something along the lines of "amber tiger from Belgium", which is aptly fitting.
Invoking my legendary Photoshop skills resulted in the following end product:
Counting down to the Kagami Biraki. So far, reactions have been positive, with the little kiai scoring surprisingly well. Curious what my sparring buddies will think of this...
Until then,
