Now canned as: Johana Hakama Ale India Pale Ale 6.5% RateBeer lists list as an Amber Ale but I’d say red IPA is a good match. Reddish brown in color with a thick beige head of foam. The aroma is piney hops with caramel maltiness. Medium to full bodied with a smooth textured mouthfeel. The taste is tutti-frutti sweet at first the piney bitterness before you get hints of malts interspersed with citrusy hops.

On tap at CBM Jimbocho. Golden orange color with a modest off-white head. Fairly malt-forward aromas with a hint of pine and resin with some stone fruit noticeable as well. Kind of dusty on the palate. Lightly bitter and grassy as well. Dry finish. Just OK. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hakama Ale on 05 Jun 2015 at 23:13 - Score: 5

med amber color. Moderate hoppiness but over all boring IPA, though apparently at one point it was considered Amber. Truly they don’t know what They are doing.

Tap in Kyoto, 2015. A very different beer. Nicely fruity, a bit or roasted malt, caramel, lemon, orange, pine. Grapefruit. A solid, slightly old school IPA that has been brought up to par. Draught at the Tanabata Beer Festa Toyama, 2010. 5/2/5/3/8 Cloudy dark brown with a nice, fine, low head. Earthy hop aroma, strong hops. Very earthy flavor with chocolate. Quite bitter, and a bit funky and harsh. Got boring as the glass went on.
