Feels like a fruit beer rather than cider. Little bit of malty sweetness. Alright but initial huge shikwasa

Tap at Brew Pub StarBoard. Big bitterness, sharp citrus, cat piss. Maybe excessively so for me.

Tap at Brew Pub StarBoard. Very pale colour. Loads of lemon, soft and lightly malty, biscuity touch. Quite thin bodied. Citrus. Refreshing and surprisingly nice.

Tap at Craft Beer Server Land. Pale blond colour. Small creamy white head. Aroma is very creamy, light banana. Little bit of spice, but not so much. Taste similar, creaminess dominates, with grain in the background. Feels a bit like a soft drink, and the body isn't really there. Feels very thin. But on the whole better than the beers I had when i went there!

Tap at Server Land. Had avoided this as I thought it was a 37 hop types concoction. Taste is good, light bitterness, grassy, quite dry. Easy drinking. My best rokko beer so far but that's not saying a great deal.

Tap at the brewery tap in Kobe. Very pale colour with white head. Aroma is full of wheat, and maybe slightly floral. Taste is a bit fruity, along with the wheat. Quite crisp. Not bad.

Tap at the brewery tap. Pale yellow colour with a white head. Not a huge amount of aroma. Taste is nice and crisp with a wheaty finish. Medium carbonation. Not that exciting, but nice enough pilsner.

Tap at the brewery tap in Kobe. Amber coloured with small white head. Aroma is yeasty, bit of Belgian tripel smell, bit of caramel sweetness. Taste is full of sweet caramel maltiness and a touch of fruit. One of their better beers I think.

Tap at the brewery tap in Kobe. Light amber colour with small white head. Aroma is smoke and sweetness. Usual bacon smell but maybe with some kind of honey glaze or something like that. Quite biscuit malty under the smoke. Taste is sweet, bit of honey and the bitterness of the smoke. Bit oily. Bit of an underwhelming finish.
