clear yellow, small white head. malty aroma. caramelly. flavor is caramelly, malty, slighly dry, aprupt fruity ending.

Can from the local supermarket, Maruman. Amber colour with small beige gold head. Aroma is toffee malty, grainy, not much else, but perfectly pleasant. Taste is caramel and toffee, slight bitterness at the end. Nice Vienna, and after really being disappointed by the last Coedo I had, this was a pleasant surprise. Sweetness but not sickly. Decent Vienna as far as I am concerned.

Pour is a copper brown with thin white head. Aroma has a touch of metal and sweet caramel. Flavour is good with sweetness with plenty of caramel and some graininess that transitions to a smooth bittering finish.

Can from Kimuraya, Kagurazaka. Pours toasty amber colour with white foeming head. Nose is toasty grain, touch of yeasty sourness. Taste is a toasty grain lager or malty lager with a medium hop bite and bitter tang on the finish.

330ml bottle pours a deep bronze color with virtually no head or lace. Aroma is a smokey caramel malt and mild floral hops. Taste is smokey with a malty sweetness and mild hoppy bitterness. Very little carbonation and light to medium body. This is a pretty solid lager which is considerably better than a traditional macro lager.

Bottle. Golden, very small and fully diminishing head. Moderate, malty-grainy sweetish aroma, some caramel and faint grassy hoppyness. Body is medium, malty and lightly sweetish flavor, some roasted malt and caramel. Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, some roasted malt and caramel, faint hoppyness. Quite uninteresting beer - just as vienna style.

33cl bottle ordered from the brewery mailed within Japan. I find Wiener lager a difficult style to enjoy. It is as if it is a taste that has gone out of fashion. Too ’matured’ for the newer lager traditions. OK, I don’t like them. But if I did this would be a good one. The lingering essence not quite burnt sugar is prominent. Claims to be 100% malt.

Just noticed I never entered this one. I had this one in Las Vegas on my B-Day (hey it was a harder to find beer and it was Las Vegas!). Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized head. Aromas of grains, a little toasty, lighter floralness, and lighter honey. Tastes of grains, caramel, and honey sweetness. Overly priced in Sin City, but hey, I’m glad I had it...

Dark yellow colored with little yellow head. Caramelly and sweet aroma with estery note. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is more chocolaty with caramel still here, aftertaste is round with some dry lemon.

Can bought in Yamaguchi. Clear deep golden. Aroma of some hops with malt, some sweetness. Ok mouhfeel. Grainy hoppy bit malty, bit sweet flavour.
