Orion Premium Draft Beer

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

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty aroma with some grainy hints. Sweetish malty grainy flavor. Has a thin weak sweetish malty and slightly watery finish.

Served from a bottle at King’s Fish House in Eastlake: Crates small foamy head which dies rapidly. Crystal clear body light in its golden color. Flavor is a crisp and refreshing yet boring just like most Japanese macros heavily dosed with rice and malt.

Standard clear golden pour with a decent white head and some lacing. The aroma was thin malt and not much else. The flavor was malt with a bit of tart citrus. Clean finish, no lingering aftertaste. An easy drinking, forgettable addition to my sushi dinner.

Spent many nights in Okinawa drinking this brew in many of the local restaurants. This beer pours a golden yellow color as you would expect with a standard lager. Aroma of grain and malts. Nothing extraordinary but quenched my thirst when it counted.

11.3 oz bottle. Pretty solid yet unremarkable beer. It is as normal as a pale lager gets. Very good and very refreshing.

Pours a clear pale gold with a fizzy head that is gone quickly. Aroma is very light and mostly sweet malt with a hint of soapy hops. Flavor is pretty standard for the style and very light. No detectable off flavors, which is a plus, but nothing great happening either. High carbonation, thin watery palate, no finish to speak of. It’s a beer.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear light to medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain), trace hops (herbs), with a light note of soap. Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively/fizzy carbonation.

I thought this was pretty solid for a pale lager. No funk in the aroma or flavor. Smooth and light tasting, a bit of dryness near the finish. Doesn’t taste ricy. Pretty good. Had at Roy’s in Las Vegas.
