Taste is sweet, pears, peachy, tinned fruit salad, fleshy, zesty, citric, with some tartness and bitterness. Light bodied, light carbonation, drying bitter and fruity acidic at the finish. Quite drinkable.

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.

 Johana Apple Tea Ale 4.5% A light amber gold with a dirty white rocky topping of foam. The aroma and flavor shout apple tea but aside from the medium body and a certain maltiness it feels way more tea than beer.
