Kul med japansk öl men annars var inget speciellt kul med denna. Smaken är tam och kroppen nöstan obefintlig precis som aromen. Funkar kanske hyfsat som en dussinöl men inget annat.

I don’t get the consistently low scores for this beer. Maybe it is an Asian beer that needs to be imbibed in Asia. All I know is that it is my beer of choice when in Bangkok. Clean, crisp, light, refreshing, sharp straw flavor. But for me one of the best beers to drink on a hot humid day. Goes especially well with Asian food.

Mittenator (453) - Michigan, USA - MAY 19, 2013
Bottle. Light yellow with a pretty big off-white head. Strong hay and pilsner aromas. Sour hay flavors with a bit of grain at the end. A bit dry but definitely not "super" dry...This probably tastes better because I just finished mowing and it’s hot out.

thanatosti (585) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 17, 2013
33 cl. bottle @ Nakoyashi, Veenendaal. Pale yellow with a white head. Grainy aroma. Bit of a cheap euro lager taste with some rice. Boring and not so good.

Pretty good when paired with some bomb sushi, but other than that, nothing to write home about.

Bright yellow colour with a fizzy white quickly dissipating head. Faint malty bready aroma. Crisp, light bodied, effervescent, acidic taste with a hint of sweetness.

Evolutionary (169) - Ohio, USA - MAY 11, 2013
Big bottle at Sakura. Pours yellow with moderate carbonation head. Nose is corn and cheap beer. Very dry body and corn and malt in there. Somewhat smooth but tastes like a cheap Canadian. ---Rated via my mouth

A decent rice beer. Not a lot of flavor but a nice bitter finish. Goes great with sushi. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
