2.62/5  rDev -26.4%
look: 4 | smell: 2 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2.75
Look: Copper
Smell: Almost undetectable, not hoppy
Taste: slightly below average for an IPA...not very hoppy, clean and smooth though, which is why I gave it a 2.5 rather than a 2 or below. I'm drinking it on April 23 2016, rather than in the summer when I might appreciate this a lot better during a warmer month.
Feel: Very smooth mouthfeel .

I want to try this again in the summer, maybe bring a few to Obon festival. Stay tuned...

Bought a 355ml bottle from Aeon in Hidaka, Saitama, Japan. Poured into a pint glass. What a fun bottle this is! On the cap, it says "If you can read this, you need a beer." Then, on the back bottle printing, it explains that "Namara" is Hokkaido-dialect for the word "very," and then it teaches you how to say "very" in dialects from Nagoya, Osaka, Okinawa, (2 I can't find the area names for) and "High School Girl" dialect, as well as in English, Spanish, Italian, and French. This is definitely a "namara" bitter beer as the same suggests, really showing the West Coast IPA style that Rogue can bring. What a fantastic, fun beer!
