Orion Premium Draft Beer

Brewed by Orion Breweries Limited
Style: Pale Lager
Urasoe-City, Okinawa, Japan

Bottle. Sour barnyard malt aroma. Golden yellow with little head. Sour malt flavor with a hint of soy sauce. Light body. Okay if you don’t have any other choice or want a light beer.

Pours a somehow metallic yellow with thin bubbly head that quickly diminishes. Nose is faint wheat and adjunct. The taste is thin, sour rice. Very bad.

Pale straw appearance. Sour, grain, corn aroma. Sour palate, fairly hoppy finish, slightly grainy.

Purchased a 633ml bottle. Light gold body with a tight bubbled white head. Aroma is light with some cherries and baby powder. The aroma seems to remind me of underarm deoderant, but not in a particularly bad way. The taste has some honey and light celery. Truly, a decent lager.

I found this little jewel in Dayton Ohio of all places. I assume perhaps from the nearby Airbase and all of the flyboys that possibly had this at Kadena. Sadly this doesn’t travel well and probably sat in that store for a long time. Pale yellow in color with a white head. No lacing to speak of. A little skunky in aroma. Fair malt and fair hop. I have fond memories of this beer when I lived in Okinawa. The food, people and experiences all seem to come back. Gets bonus points for that.

Deep strawin color,slight haze and a thick rocky white head. Aroma of bread and malt, with a faint hop character. Flavor starts sweet and finishes dry.

Bottle: Hazy yellow with a thin large-bubbled white head. Grass aroma with some lemon, medium body, starts and ends lightly bitter. Ends crisp and clean. Much better than most imported Japanese lagers.

This beer is crap. Pours lighter than Lite beers, no nose on it... tastes like straight poo.
