jdjuice (202), Japan Jun 19, 2007 Pale gold, looks the same as every other beer in Japan. Weak nose, very light. Flavor is surprisingly sweet, almost no hop bitterness. FInish has a strange coppery taste. Kind of weird, a little different than the rest of Japanese beers, but still not particularly good. IslandHaole (1026), Onna-Son, Okinawa-Ken, Japan Nov 20, 2005 Medium gold, small white head. Cereal and dried grass in the nose, slight floral/spice hop. A fair but simple Pils, slight grainy sweetness, not much else going on. Better than the typical canned macros but just another brick in the wall of so-so Pilsners that are found here.
