It’s the best when I had it in the brewery (in Japan)... Nothing special about it though.

I’ll admit that I bought this ’Japanese’ beer (brewed ’under supervision’ in the Czech Rep.) only to get a higher score on the ’most countries’ rating. However I was compelled to drink it tonight (had planned to wait a bit) in order to lose the foul aftertaste of the EKU 28 I had sampled earlier. This beer is definitely contrary to the foul eisbock: It’s probably the driest beer I’ve ever tasted. Refreshing, but not something I’d buy again (ref. Norwegian prices on imported beer), unless I should happen to visit Japan. Rerate: Actually, I DID have it again without visiting Japan: It was a nice accompaniment with a meal in a Japanese garden / restaurant in Denmark.

Watery and extremely fizzy. Oh, and it’s dry. My least favorite of the Sapporo/Kirin/Asahi triumvirate.

Cool bottle, but an average tasting lager. Fairly weak, regular tasting beer. Nothing amazing here.

blah. That’s all I can really say. I mean it’s not terrible, but blah.

Not much going on here. Completely mild and unremarkable. Thick head that disappeared fast, typical lager coloring. Really lacking in the taste department though. I am still waiting for that first really good Japanese beer.

Pretty standard Japanese beer.Metallic aroma.Yellow and super fizzy.Has a strange aftertaste that disappears in a second.
