Wakasa Amber 5% A mahogany brown with a beige head but the foam doesn’t linger or leave lacing behind. Peppery (is there rye in this?) and dry biscuit/hardtack type aroma. Light bodied, nicely malty with caramel and biscuit notes. A bit on the watery side in terms of mouthfeel but solid and eminently drinkable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle, a dirty brownish orange in color with minimal head. The aroma is a tangy bread sourdough with mild spice notes. Not so Weizen like but I served it in a beer mug rather than a proper Weizen glass. Medium bodied and semi-slick. The taste starts off kind of roughly malty, then gives a bit of spice though the Weizen flavor is mostly present in the aftertaste. Not to style but not glaringly off either. Passable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Wakasa Pale Ale 5% This has the worst reviews of the three Wakasa beers I picked up by Fukui station but they’re from 2012 so I took them with a grain of salt. Clear orange gold with a thick head of foam. It has a mild aroma of orange blossoms and mild maltiness. The taste is similar with orange fruit notes and a light biscuit caramel malt character. It’s a solid beer, not exciting but decently made. Color me pleasantly surprised. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from the brewery. Amber-orange with a medium high, fine head. Earthy caramel malt aroma. Rich amber / caramel malt flavor with some grassy hops, salt, and a mineral finish. Decent buy not all that memorable. Slightly watery. The best of their three beers.

Bottle from the brewery. Sweet, fruity aroma, honey, rich pale malts, caramel, a touch of citrus hops. Dark golden color ranging towards copper, medium head. Sweet caramel-honey malt. Slightly bready. Grapes, peaches. Light hop grassiness with a bit of a bitter finish. Unbalanced and not integrated. Amateurish, with alcohol remaining in the mouth. Thin, greasy body. Not very well done, too sweet and cloying, though drinkable.

Bottle from the brewery. Fruity aroma with grapes, creamy malt, soap, apples, light wheat. More like an American wheat ale than a weizen. Deep gold color with no head. Crisp malt, fruity, with apples and some funky dust. Strange and not at all like a weizen. Vaguely belgian yeast-wise, though not necessarily in a good way. Probably infected. Lemonade-like and not good.
