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. 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. 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.

Tap at the brewery tap in Kobe. Dark red/brown colour with small beige head. Smoky roasty aroma, bit of dark chocolate. Taste is slightly bitter, but milky. Nice lingering malty finish. Quite nice, but bit of a confusing one.

Rokko Yuzu Saison 5% A spicy wheat aroma of cloves and white pepper says saison while tart acidic Yuzu completes the package. The taste is pretty acidic tart citrus but also a bit of toughness added to the saison elements. It’s alright.

Rokko Hazy IPA 5% Murky and muddy looking this generous pour of haze has a decent juicy aroma and alright mouthfeel for the style but the taste is just so so. OK. On tap at the Karasuma Night Market.

Tap at Zest Oike Festival. Pink-ish gold color is nice and fits the name. Clear. Nice aroma of sakuramochi--pickled cherry leaves. Crisp, light body. Rather astringent finish is a turnoff.

Apparently this used to sold as Rokko’s IPA... Rokko Brown Ale 5% Bottle picked up at a souvenir shop in Portopia for around 500¥ in Kobe. It’s a clear amber brown with a pale beige head and a sweet caramel and citrus aroma. The taste is toffee and biscuit with a dry-ish finish. A bit of herbal hops in the finish, as a brown ale it is fine if this same recipe was ever sold as an IPA that is tragic. When it warms up you get diacetyl so drink it fast. It went from 3.3 to 3.1

Tap @ Tsukuba Craft Beer House. Pours deep ruby red with nice frothy pink head. Looks like they used cassis in this beer (and they actually did, heh-heh). Fruity sweetish nose, actually getting some gummy bears and light tart cassis character. Taste is fruity, not that much recognizably cassis but tart and delicious. Malty body still, refreshing to a degree, somewhat sweetish but some light bitterness balancing it out. Perhaps not in the greatest balance but not badly done beer.

Tap @ Tsukuba Craft Beer House. Pours hazy whitish yellow, some white foam on top. Nose has some sweet banana, light spices, pretty estery. Tastes more malty and cloves and spices are coming out quite clearly. Served in a good condition, so feels fresh and herbal character is also nicely represented. Tasty weizen, refreshing.
