Draught at a chain izakaya in Osaka. Finally got around to rating this. Light hop and light malt aroma. Crisp, light, smooth body, clean, dry flavor. Nothing off, very drinkable, very innocuous. Slips gently on, for sure.

thanatosti (582) - 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

DylansDad (157) - NEW ZEALAND - MAY 3, 2013
Didn’t get much aroma, just a grainy and sweet mass produced aroma. Taste is nothing like I remember it from a past life: it is super sweet and watery, so watery that, luckily, the over-sweet taste gets washed away. A bit prickly, a bit spicy, and a bit lemony-sour in the finish. Not a good beer.

kramer (3873) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 2, 2013
Bottle. Pours a clear pale straw yellow with a fizzy white head that faded to a wispy film. The nose is a mix of rice and corn with very little influence from the barley or hops. The flavor is almost nonexistent, it’s very thin and watery with just a little corn syrup on the finish. Zero hop flavor, making it rather limp and boring to drink. At least it’s not overly vegetal tasting like many Pale Lagers. It’s actually fairly clean and crisp. Light bodied, watery, and fizzy with prickly carbonation. Not one to seek out, but it could be worse.
