Bottle [330ml] shared with HogTownHarry -- c/o jercraigs. Pours a deep orange-amber with an average size long-lasting frothy off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt and fruit. Flavour of toasted caramel malt, some brown sugar and a dry finish. Average bodied. This was way better then I expected, I could actually drink this.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330ml bottle shared with blankboy - thanks to JerCraigs. I’m a-scared!!! Bright clear deep copper with a small off-white dimishing head. Sweet, grassy, not harsh at all - lightly roasty, even. Taste - where the hell is the nasty?! - sweet, grassy, light, no alcohol, a bit of bitterness in the finish. Light, slick, clean finish - damn it, this is pretty decent!

2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark amber colour. The aroma is a little bit bubblegummy. The taste has toasty malts with a hint of roast - less caramelly than one might expect, but those random phenols give me pause when I see it in the stores. It’s too bad, normally a little toasty lager would be a good break from the monotony of regular Hinano.
