Not a fantastic beer, but quite a thirst quencher. light head, crisp and just slightly hoppy. A good dinner beer, in my opinion.

Pretty typical lager but im liking the crispness of these "extra" and "super" dry brews. Decent head and nice pale golden colour. Pretty fizzy and clean taste. Not too bad.

Had this at a Japanese restaurant with sushi. It was served way too cold - which perhaps was not a bad thing - the pale-gold beer was dry to a fault. All in all, a boring clean beer.

Poured from a large bottle, the golden brew had a mild and not unpleasant taste. I tasted a hint of rice, but I had just eaten rice so that might have played a factor. Fortunately, I did not detect the rotted metallic vegetable matter on a stick others experienced, but I think I was drinking from a fresher batch. It’s not great, but it’s a lot better than most of the refuse-based brews around these parts.

This beer is ok. In Japan it is one of the cheapest, not the best quality. The taste took a while for me to get used to.

This one got me through some tough times in the land of the rising sun. Doesn’t need to be said, but it tastes much better over there than in the States. Pours a pale yellow, not much of a discernable scent, slight lacing. Flavor is smooth with, as to be expected, a dry finish. Perfect for sushi and edemame.

This beer is very dry. VERY, VERY dry. It finishes very clean and tastes extremely good with Japanese food in general, especially dishes flavored with ginger because it mixes with the flavor of the beer.
