Clear golden body. Has a white head that dissapears fast. Aroma from hops and gras. The mouthfeel is smouth . tanx Freddie!

17oz bottle pour, small beer glass. Pale yellow color, with little head, but lots of carbonation. Dry, crisp lager, paired great with sushi, and sriracha spice. No lingering bitterness like other Japanese premium beers.

17oz bottle at Sansei in Maui. Waiter insisted its a great Japanese craft beer. Pours looking just like Coors. No aroma. Flavor is sharp and dry. Not worth the $12 I paid for it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Good beer with sushi. I was recommended this with dinner and enjoyed it. Was intrigued to find out how much rice was in the grain bill of this brew. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

It’s got a dry finish... this stuff uses rice which I’m not too keen on. I’ve tried better beers but at least it doesn’t have a chemical taste to it.

500ml Bottle - Honolulu, Hawaii
Aroma – Very skunky aroma way too much time in the bottle.
Appearance – Light golden in color, light white head and clear.
Flavor – Had a very pale flavor and very light struck. Skunky throughout the flavor.
Palate – Decent Mouthfeel, OK texture with a dry bland finish.
Overall – Just sat way too long and tasted like crap. Not my type of brew. This had no flavor and was way too watery and an over produced mass beer.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of perfume, light rice, apples. Tastes of apples, some lysol, skunky.

Bottle. Very pale yellow, head dies immediately. Aroma is sweet, fruity, like strawberries. Some perfume. Taste is sweet rice, candy, sweet tarts. Strange.

Decent head pale yellow to gold colour good carbonation,aroma fruity woody grainy hops.Flavour woody grainy mildest bitter mild sweetness,not strong flavours,finish the same with light hop fruit and mild bitter.

Light pale lager. I thought I detected a German style bitterness and wasn’t sure if this was a pale lager or a pilsner when sampled. Just not much going on here for my palate. I will keep the 500ml bottle for the home brewery.
