Brewed by Asahi Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Tokyo, Japan

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Tanaka of Tokyo, Hawaii, sampled the Japanese version. Wonderful, crisp , dry. Molson variety , not so good. Will only drink again when the real thing is available.

Sweet malty aroma. Pale amber with very little aroma. Flavour is sweetish, very dusty grain. Thin bodied and overcarbonated. Oily mouthfeel. Finishes with burnt toast. Not one bit to my taste.

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours clear yellow. Smells terrible. No head. Honestly, why do they bother brewing this rubbish? I wanted to cry after I took my first sip. Awful, awful "beer."

Pours a golden yellow with a sweet corny aroma with a hint of hops. Tastes of malted corn and bitter hops. It has a strong mouthfeel and mild effervescence.

Pretty crappy lager. Skunky smell, crappy taste. Stupid sushi place influences me to drink "ethnically"

Six Pack. An Asian pale lager? That’s about right. Nothing really to say about it that hasn’t been said.

I found this beer surprisingly disappointing. Maybe, it’s an issue of age or something. At any rate, the beer pours a straw yellow color, a shade darker than other Japanese lagers, with a puffy white head. The head dissipates rather quickly, leaving some lacing. The shade of yellow is a bit strange, but perhaps that’s just my opinion on the flavor/aroma of the beer coloring (pun) my feelings on the appearance. The odor is light but still off-putting. It’s on the weak end of the spectrum of macro lager aromas but definitely not the bottom of the barrel. The flavor is a mix of bitter, grassy hops, cheap super pale malt plus adjuncts (rice, I guess) and a mildly stomach-turning sourness. The mouthfeel is light with some graininess. Drinkability isn’t horrible, either, but it’s certainly nothing to write home about. It’s light and sits easily, but I don’t think that I could finish this enormous can by myself unless I was fairly drunk and not really noticing the flavor.

From Tokyo Canada, ? YUCK. The last pale lager I had from my beers of the world pack (Quilmes Cristal) was kinda tasty, this is crap. No barley or hop taste...like water + a dash of vodka that they soaked some corn in. This should have stayed in Japan, err, Canada.
