Pours a thin head, light straw colour, hoppy but not much else going on. Lacks bite

Bottle 330ml. A clear yellow colour with a small white head. An aroma of malt and caramel. Some toasted notes. The taste is medium sweet. A light body, watery texture, soft carbonation and an abrupt finish.

Bottle. It doesn’t have a strong smell, but something about the taste is extremely refreshing. Carbonation balances the taste. It’s good to have with fish and casual meals. This is one of my go-to beers.

Metallic and oily malt aroma. Sharp and dry malt taste with a watery and bland finish. Lacks really a hop taste! This beer might work with Japanese food, but alone it is a disaster!

Bright yellow colour, little head. Hardly any smell, pilsner like. Weird taste, pilsener but also some cardboard notes. Too much carbo, dry.

Aroma is the typical pale lager malt. Taste is also bland malt, but a little more character than the mass pale lagers.

On tap at local sushi bar. Pours out a light pale yellow with a nice head. Aromas of grains corn malts and rice. Tastes follows the aromas and is fairly indistinct. I love this type of beer with hamachi spicy tuna and salmon. Finishes crisp and dry with a slight sweetness to offset the soy and wasabi. .

Not much in aroma or flavor, a bit of grain, otherwise a rather plain/mildly flavorless but not nasty pale lager.
