A bright golden hue is darker and classier than I expected. Head retention is low--however, while existant, it is a creamy stark white pillow. Immediately striking about the aroma is the actual inclusion of hops; though mild, their grassy presence is quite welcome. Clean and simple bready malt profile shows some honeyed edges. The flavor begins with honey coated white bread sweetness and the finish is rather curt, just a touch of grassy bitterness before a wave of nothing washes the back of my tongue. Surprisingly, this is rather less dry than I was expecting really killing any potential for this to be one of those nice thirst slaking affairs. Just better than watery, the texture ventures into slick territory. Carbonation is perhaps a bit low. As it warms, a sulferous element appears in limited quantity and improves the overall experience to a small degree. Still, there are no glaring flaws with this one, it merely fails to inspire on any level. 633mL bottle, Burgundy glass.

Poured from bottle unfortunately into a paper cup, so I had to rate lower on appearance. This is one of my brother in laws favorite beers he was hooked on while stationed in Okinawa. He was stoked he found it here in Ohio. Its a very basic lager, but actually, very refreshing and decent on this hot and humid day.

Bottled....your standard int’l pale lager, actually one of the better ones. Clean and insubstantial.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a one finger white head that receded into a soap scum topper quickly. The nose is grain and light grassy hops. The taste is sweet malt, grain and faint hops. Medium mouthfeel. Not that good. The cap says “For your happy time.” At $3 a 12oz bottle, I’m not very happy.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear gold color with a two finger white head. The aroma was grain, with a weird fruity note. The flavor was mainly cereal grains.

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.
