Pours nice golden, relatively clear and a bit of white foam. Aroma really works wonders, nice fragrant tropical fruits, bit of banana. Does not taste sweet but has all the fruits inside. Hops are supporting the whole composition nicely, really well drinkable summer fruity beer. Surprise from Gotemba Kogen for me.

Tap at toranomon. Amber-orange. soft sakura leaf in the nose, amber malt, some caramel. Very light cherry flavor, rather sweet malt. An ok amber lager with nice enough cherry edge.

Mahogany color. Sweet malty nose with low hops. Very clean. Some chocolate malts, but overall not that distinguishable.

Bottle shared at "Tokyo Ratebeer Dark Tickers of The World Unite or AJB tasting volume 1" event. Thanks Davido! Gold with a small white head. Light green pepper and french roasted coffee nose. Very light body with average carbonation. The green pepper dissipates as it warms with more of the dark coffee notes standing out. Surprisingly good and better than Shiga Kogenβs Limoncello but not quite as good as the Baird and Onibus coffee IPA. Still a solid effort.

Tap at TBE Brewing. Banana bread and clove aromas. Thin body for the style but the flavors are there. Some nice grainy wheat action on the palate as well. Finish is sweet and a tad boozy. --- Beer merged from original tick of Weizenbock on 15 Jan 2016 at 21:23 - Score: 5. Original review text: Nah.

Tap at CBB. Deep, clear gold with a low, thick head. Nice hop nose, light citrus, grass, rich biscuity malt. Very fruit flavor, full and smooth and well balanced. Very well rich and tasty lager.

Tap at Yokohama Beer Fest. Another beer featuring this table rice. Light, pale yellow (from the rice). Ricy nose, biscuit, some tang. Light, grainy, rice, oily, malty. Crisp and refreshing. Not bad.

hazy amber color. Malty and too boring. I donβt really understand the point of these seasonal beers that are a boring lagers with something simple to represent the season added.

On tap at CBM Koenji. Clear golden color with a nice soapy head. Great floral hops on the nose. Light body with a nice clean crisp finish. Slightly sweet to dry on the palate. Not a bad lager.
