Orion Premium Draft Beer

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

Bottled (as Orion Premium Beer, 5%) at Monks Café, Stockholm. Lightly hazy pale yellow, brief head. Vague applearoma Sweet and ricey with light body. Soft and very drinkable, butrather void of desired flavours. Some paper shows up in a finish almost entirely without bitterness.

Canned. Pale golden colour, minor white head. Aroma is diacetylic, maizeish and malty. Flavour is totally crap, diacetyl and very harsh grassy mould and skunked hops. Very unpleasant. No points for this one. No, none whatsoever.

Light gold colour. Grassy noble hop aroma. Reasonably full body for style. Grassy hops meet grainy malts in a light flavour profile. Not stellar, but far from objectionable.

Can 350ml (BB 08/2006)
Pale yellow, mostly vanishing head. Corn aroma and boiled vegatables. Sweet corn, mushrooms and vegetables also in flavor. Really awful, can’t be like this as fresh?

Bottle. Golden yellow colour with a fluffy white head. Aroma of grain and malt, some hops. Good flavour of malts and grains, bit fruitiness, dry finish. Good pale lager which actually has a good taste.

855ml bottle. Poured a medium yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas yeast, grass, and a generic maltiness. Tastes follow suit. Body on the thinner side.

Just another boring Japanese lager. Watery- very light texture, ricey, corny flavour. Pretty similiar to Asahi, Kirin, Sapporro etc.....

From a 633 ml bottle. Pale yellow beer, no head at all. Grassy and pissy aroma. Huge skunkiness that is pretty tough to take. Flavour is not bad, but it’s tough getting your nose that close to it. Grassy flavour.
