0.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
As boring as a beer can get. I find it hard to give this beer any points. I struggle to give it something. This reminds me of when I did not know there where so many beers out there that were good & I really did not care for drinking because of this stuff.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle: some deli in China town, Manhattan. Pours amber, no head. accidentally served from too long in the freezer... I didn’t know beer could form ice. Has a light simple profile, the rice is obvious. Dry but not bitter. Not the best asian beer I’ve had.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear pale golden with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Sweet grainy aroma with strong corn notes. Bitter grassy taste with strong rice notes as well as corn and grain. Thin bodied.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured pale golden body with medium sized head. Some Asian malt and grassy hops in aroma. Flavor wasn’t really bitter, it was smooth, malty and not so typical Asian for me, as I didn’t felt any rice, just hay, honey malt. Pretty thin bodied. Aftertaste shows some hops then, metallic a bit as well. Not bad and very drinkable beer, but a bit boring.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
0.33l bottle courtesy of some friends who brought it from Rome (huge thanks!), says it’s brewed in Tokyo. Ok then. Hm, poured a pale golden body with medium sized head that went away fast. Sweaty nose with notes of alcohol, rice... slightly sweetish mess all in all. The taste is quite soft and sweetish, some bready corn, rice is also evident. Some light bite, trace herbal hopiness. Yay. A typical Asian lager, as others have said, unremarkable.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
633mL bottle. Golden with next to head. Not much taste or flavour. Unremarkable.
1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Yellowish color with a fairly nice white head that lasts. Aroma is adjunk, grain, and malt. Flavor is pale malt, rice/corn, grain, and a little metal. Light, dry, and crisp on the palate. Bland, but good for sake bombs, if nothing else.
2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Nice grainy note. Rather acidic finish. Slight complexity and clean aroma.
