Can. Herbal and a bit farmhouse-like in character. Hoppy, bitter, malty, somewhat sweet. I also am not too sure about this.

Zakkoku Kobo NaRa Cabernet Fran 6%
Nice reddish purple color with wispy white foam and a nice vinous red grape aroma. Acidic grapes but quite smooth.
Enjoyable.

Tap at KBC 10th anniversary festival. Pinkish-red with a low, pastel pink head. Nice red grape nose, berries, wine, some clean bready malts. Lightly sweet, and also tart, for a very nice balance. A good grape ale or hybrid. Refreshing and tasty.

Nice stuff. Quite complicated. Tart and funky. Good sourness.

Quite unusual. Oaky. Fruity too and the unusualness fades. It’s fine.

Lovely stuff. Great balance of tartness and oaky funk with raspberry and a touch of Porter.

Perhaps a bit lacking in booze for me. Fine but drank it quite quickly without forming any lasting opinions

Kind of weird. Herbal, hint of New England. Leafy. I’m not sure. Second time, lots of hops; not so much lager. Still not sure.

Zakkoku Kobo x KBC Little Kyoto
Cucumber Saison
Matte brass in color with a slightly pickle like aroma. Cucumber beers often smell like pickle brine I think. Medium bodied and smooth with a mostly cucumber flavor.
Odd beer style but much more drinkable than many I’ve had.

Nice stuff. Some character behind the obvious citrus
