Can (rated Apr 2008). Head is mostly diminishing. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, husks), trace hops (herbs), with a note of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, husky, unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

Cheap tin from a drugstore in Yonago. Straw gold with a dying fizz of head. Grass and glue aroma with some faint herbal presence, Madeira cake and pale toastiness. Glycerol dripped on paper flavour, nibble of almond. Breadstick? Struggling for positives. Although it is clear, admittedly.

Follows a similar course to Asahi’s other pale lagers but seems to be heavily filtered to get rid of any ’beer’ taste. Strictly for ticking records only.

Can. Pale golden, champagne bubbles, white foam. Light grain, cardboard and grass nose. Cardboardy, thin,watery, sulphur retronasal. What is so clear about this thing? Meh

Poured about as pale yellow as i’ve seen, crystal clear. Very tiny head. Little to no aroma, smells like tap water. Taste was very refreshing, fairly watery, but very clean flavors, very little sweetness, slightly floral, very good for what it is. good summer session beer.

Can at Shinjuku City Hotel NUTS - first live rating from Tokyo. Clear yellow - white head. Mild everything, mild malty, rice, light hoppy, thin mouthfull, caranel, light sweetness. Plain.

Can. Yellow colour, short white head. Mild hoppines iin the aroma. Faior mouthfeel. The flavour is rather mild with some malt and a light hoppiness (grassy). Very clear tasty, so clear that it is almost clear of flavour.
