Fukito (610) - Ann Arbor, USA - OCT 16, 2008
Can, october 08. Clear, golden color with fizzy carbonatation and a small, disappearing white head. Flavor is not that ba for a pale lager. Chilled, but with an almost perceptible malt backbone and decent bittersweetness. A bit of skunk and a salty finish. Aroma is a bit of skunk and the faintest touch of herbal hopiness. Palate is a little bit fuller than most pale lagers, firm too. Almost a bit of flavor while remaining refreshing. King among leppers.

Scrapersnbeer (217) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - FEB 6, 2012
A lager that’s not skunky so much as stewed. Aroma of a vegetable broth pervades. Very strange. Medium clear amber color. Thought this might be a lighter malt lager. Sweet cereal taste, some straw. Not hopped at all. Odd beer overall, and not that great, though distinct from the many overly light lagers. A traditional recipe with roots in antiquity perhaps?

Rodriguez (85) - Quito, ECUADOR - JAN 27, 2012
Malty, bread aroma and flavor, golden in color. Even if it says that it has hops, I can’t find any. Low head retention, and low carbonation. A very special beer.

kprkr (1) - SOUTH KOREA - JAN 26, 2012 does not count
Bought a bottle on sale ($1/₩1000) at the supermarket. Malty, smooth, a quick drink. A good break from the Asian lagers I’m otherwise subjected to. For the price I’d buy it again.

Bottle. Yellow. Fizzy. Lightly hoppy. Malty. It is what it is. So to speak.

martinrumsam (70) - BARNSTAPLE, Devon, ENGLAND - JAN 6, 2012
pours clear golden colour , struggles to make a head even when poured vigourously and it doesn’t last . no real detectable aroma . taste is cold and wet. maybe a very slight hint of malt . nothing going for it really but better than Bud - but isn’t everything ?
