0.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Pale yellow with a fragmented head. Aroma and flavour of rice and corn with a metallic finisg. Thin and watery, Goes best with some wasabi, I would think ...
0.7 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
330ml bottle. Pale amber colour, very clear with a sudsy dishwater look about the scattered bubbles that attempt to form a head. Bland and almost offensive aroma - starchy and grainy. Dry on the palate with a hint of sweetness. Very ordinary at best.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow with a decent, clingy, white head that slowly fades. Aroma and Taste are of malt, corn, rice and some hops. A little sweet with a slight bitterness and dryness to it. Has a good body, that isn’t too watery. Reminds me of Molson, but foamier. Smooth, clean and easy to drink, but is little pricey for what it is.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Clear golden colour, highly carbonated when first poured. Small white head that largely dissapears. Aroma of barley. Not much taste to speak of, quite watery. I have definetely had worse for a mass produced lager. It’s drinkable, and quite plesant in the heat.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
This is slightly better than alternatives such as Heineken and Coors. The flavor seems a little crisper to me, and the hops are slightly more pronounced. Nothing to really note in the flavors; there’s nothing really there.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Aroma of lemon grass and hay. Appearance is golden with carbonated head that went quickly. Flavor matches the nose, with a small flash of citrus as it enters your mouth. Palate is fizzy. Nothing of note here.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Pours a golden pale orange with a white head that quickly disappears to a thin ring. Aroma is quite lemony, some honey like sweetness, some grain. Very "short" when sipped, basically no aftertaste, just a quick rush of lemon and malt sweetness with a short dry finish. Sparkly carb, light body. Nothing tastes off here though, just bland and boring. Drinkable and refreshing is the best I can say about this.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Appearance: Pours from the bottle a clear, light yellow body with a tall, airy, white head.
Smell: Simple though agreeable aroma of lightly malted barley, rice, and a light hint of Noble hops.
Taste: Lightly sweet, mild tastes of malted barley and rice. Faint bitterness and hint of spiciness imparted by the hops. Finishes dry, crisp, and cleansingly refreshing.
Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: It’s okay, really. While mild, it is clean and crisp with no discernible off-flavors - as a lager should be. I’d say it would be a good go-to beverage for pairing with sushi, but, that’s what the sake is for!
