Typical Japanese Macrolager, clear Gold with white head. Very weak malt scent, slightly grassy. Quite fizzy, DME & adjuncts, a bit sweet in the middle with a bittersweet follow. I’m not really a big Lager fan, especially on a sub-freezing Winter night. I’ll have to try it again in the Summer.

From IslandHaole: ugghhh. Dude, why did you send this one out to Logan’s? Poured a golden yellow with a medium white head. Very weak all around. Light malt, some rice, some beer flavoring. I’ve had better.

Dull gold colour. Grainy aroma. Taste is grainy - a little heavy handed in that regard actually. Watery underpinning. Next week I’ll have forgotten I drank this.

Thanks to IslandHaole for this one. Pours pale gold with aroma of slight hopcit, honey, and thiols. Tastes hopcity, with some finsihing honey sweetness. Light, with a slightly dry finish.
