flavor is weaksweet and flat, rice, not refreshing.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
50 cl can from Japan (thanks Dad!), served cold in a tulip glass. JL 24/09.
App.: Clear golden with a gleaming white head.
Aroma: Fairly plain grain/cereal, corn/rise, little else.
Palate: Medium body and carbonation.
Flav.: Also plain, a little adjunct, minerals; dry with no bitterness and a fairly watery finish.
Refreshingly bland.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Decent beer for what it is. Should be rated higher. Definitely watery and refreshing but too light on flavor. Aroma is pretty good. Bitter sweet aftertaste. Too much carbonation. Clean and nothing off. Good alternative to water.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
This just wasn’t very good, maybe the worst Japanese beer I’ve had - and this one was not even made in Japan - brewed in the Czech Republic! Go figure. Colour was a pale yellow and the head was insigificant. Aroma was almost non-existant, much like the flavour from this watery creation.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Big can at Sushi Kan - decent pour, but nearly no head. Smells clean and fresh. The taste is dry and slighty bitter with a metallic finish. Fairly refreshing and really not that bad.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Can: Poured a light bright golden color lager with a large bubbly head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with minimal adjunct being noticeable. Taste is also dominated by light sweet malt with a bland finish. Not the worst pale lager out there and with well hidden adjunct it is still quaffable with my sushi.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Clean, clean, clean! Poured a very pale yellow with a thin white head, quickly gone. This beer is basically Perrier with hops, and not much hops at that. Clean crisp and utterly watery, but the nose has a surprisingly hoppy note. Not what I’d call assertive by any means but surprising considering how pedestrian and watery all other facets of this beer were.
