Koedo Beer No.1

Formerly brewed at Kyodo Shoji Koedo Brewery
Style: Pilsener

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

With the swanky label and odd shaped bottle I thought I'd be in for a rare treat. A good Japanese craft beer. What I got was an average pilsner. As 90% of all Japanese beer, a clear golden color with a slight white head. Some mild hops in the nose with a brief sweetness quickly followed by bitterness. Crisp finish and easy drinking. Better than the typical Macros but I was expecting more. Great bottle but the beer wasn't worth the time or effort to find.
