Another new Japanese macro on the already saturated market. This one seems to by a mix of Asahi Super Dry with a different strain of yeast and some sort of extract. Smells tin-canny and fishy with some sweet vegetal undertones. Not a good smelling beer...not a good tasting beer either. Artificial and quite fizzy, this is by far the worst of the new Japanese beers to recently hit the market. A drain pour.

Can looks like Super Dry, which is relatively palatable, but unfortunately this is not. Tastes like a very small amount of beer diluted with flat seltzer water. I agree with my compadre in kombini beers, this one is a drain pour.
