Large bottle. Clear pale yellow pour white thin head. Clear clean lager, nothing odd or off but rather refreshing yet plane. A little pale with some malt and tinge of hops. Cool and crisp.

Pours a light gold with a quickly disppearing thin white head. Has a very slight hoppy aroma. The taste is a bit sweet with plenty of carbonation. Light body, dry finish. Good with sushi!

Bottle 0.33 l. Bought Kvickly Hilleroed. Aroma weak with notes of citrus and yeast. Clear light yellow colour with small white head. Watery taste. The barley malt is easily detected, but I cannot get a hold of the rice.

At a local Japanese restaurant, I succumb to "wanting" a beer. My wife orders one. Why not? I think. Why not indeed. Pale Bud taste. No different than a Bud basically. I haven’t tasted that awful, bland beer taste in so long. Why, I scream. Why!!!!! Lesson learned.

bottle, 33CL... Nothing special, good pilsner. Fun to drink, it is easy to drink. A good Japanese beer. Golden color, fresh taste no afterdrink.
