2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Can: Gold color, nose of light toast and hop resin, bright husk and alcohol. A chewy malt whiff that fades into a watery tail that has a touch of hop bitterness. Fair to mediocre, depends on your moment. Drank this in the Shinjuku station waiting for the Romance Car train. Woo!
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Monstrous white frothy head. Clear golden color. No trace of adjuncts in the aroma. Overall a pretty nice sweet maltiness, with a slight hint of hops, and a very slight fruitness. The flavors were not as "nice", however. Pretty bland maltiness with a slight touch of hops. Thin and watery. A decent choice in terms of Japanese macros, but overall nothing too special.

Another "fine" example of beer found in Okinawa. I’m not expecting too much from this one but let’s find out. 350ml can. Pours a pale yellow with a finger thick head that lasts fairly long but eventually fades to only a ring. Aroma is some hops, a bit more than I was expecting but still a funny sweetness presists that is not exactly pleasant. Taste is fairly sweet and tastes of corn. Actually alot of corn, this is one of the strongest corn flavors I’ve ever had in a beer. Seriously tastes like eating sweet corn on the cob. While this beer wasn’t horrible it certainly isn’t a striking example of beer. If I never saw this one again I wouldn’t shed a tear.

Canned(350ml). -Clear golden coloured, minimal white head, malty nose. The aroma is weak malty, slight hoppy and faint fruity with rather bitter finish. Very industrial.

From can. Pale yellow in appearance. Thin white head. Typical of this sort of beer. High carbonation.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Poures a crystal clear gold with a medium white head. Aroma is malt, sweet fruitines, a bit sour, and the smallest hint of hops. Body is watery and thin. Flavor is just another mass produced lager. Malt, and a bit sweet. Thats about it. I’d take this over there regular swill, but its nothing to get excited about.
1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Can in Seoul. Best part of the this beer is the classy looking can. It’s mostly downhill from there. Weird sweet corn aroma and the flavour is really flat with a strange sour finish. Not terrible, just not good.
1.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
canned. pale yellow, fizzy with not much sign of a head. dull and flavourless with no bitterness and a weird artificial lemon finish
