Molasses, burnt raisin, dark chocolate, very rich and tempting nose. The body falls apart, is unbalanced and slightly sour. So much promise that fails to deliver.

Tap at Bungalow. Cloudy, glowing yellow, fine low thick head. Lovely nose, huge grapefruit, saltines. Clean and herbal. Clean, crisp flavor, crackers and citrus. Great stuff. Maybe just a bit too bitter. Johana is getting better and better.

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

Tap at BBS 2015. Orange-amber, hazy, with lace. Fruity meaty malt nose, peaches, biscuits. Smooth and balanced, good fruit, nice bitterness, silky body. Well done. Best in a while from Johana.

On tap at Beer Stand Hop. 5% It pours a pinkish orange with a reddish white head - it looks more like a fruit cocktail than a beer. Zesty fruity orange aroma but slightly soda like. The taste is sweet blood orange a bit artificial but has a dry finish that keeps it from being cloying. Not at all beer like but a pleasing enough tipple.

Tap at Bungalow. PRetty, deep blond with a high fine head. Nice lemony nose, biscuits, sweet lemon candy. Thin body, though, with a prickly finish. Nice nose and good hops but the body and malts are a bit too light. Pretty enjoyable, though.

On tap at the Kyoto Craft Beer Festival 2012. 16 IBUs 4.5% Rating from my notes this was just a brown-gold pour with a slight foamy head, the flavor was off but not terribly so with a grainy nutty character. Sub-standard.
