I will never be able to praise Bryan Baird in Numazu City enough for contributing so much to beer and micro-brewing in Japan!
This is only my second “official tasting”: “Angry Boy Brown Ale”
(I made a point not to read Bryan’s own comments. There might be quite a discrepancy between the two of us!)
Bryan Baird Brewery: Angry Boy Brown Ale
Draught/nama Beer
Ingredients: Barley Malt, barley, hops, yeast.
Alcohol: 6 degrees
Contents: 300 ml
Clarity: smoky
Colour: rich dark brown-orange
Foam: very long head, great long-lived foam
Aroma: Oranges. Yeast. Strong and sharp
Taste: Comparatively shart tail. Tangy oranges lingering on at the back of the palate. Steady. Solid. Oranges, lemons, grapefruits.Dry. Welcome acidity.
Overall: Another beer suited for any food, especially meat, sausages and the like. Can be appreciated cold in summer on its own, though. Refreshing and very satisfying. Funnily enough I enjoyed eating Carr’s Whole wheat Crackers with it!
SHIZUOKA GOURMET 
Frankly speaking, I was a bit clumsy and I do prefer a thin creamy head, too!

I concur with your comments about Baird Beer, in my mind the range is head and shoulders above any other beer company that I have encountered in Japan.
Talking of heads, I notice that you managed to get a huge head on your Angry Boy, do you prefer it that way? I must admit I like a nice thin creamy head.
