Well I don’t care what anybody else says, this is a very pleasent beer. It was smooth and very refreshing. Ok it does not have a lot of individual character but it is pleasent and far better then its low rating suggests. Much better then most big US beers.

The Kirin brewery was actually bought out by Anheiser-Busch, so this is probably why the beer is good, especially with Japanese cuisine.

I love this beer. It is very refreshing and leaves a great aftertaste. It is also low in calories and you can drink a ton of them.

12 oz bottle. Only 95 calories...but only 3.31% alc. Not a worthy sacrifice. Nice light beer, refreshing and LIGHT.
