0.350l bottle. Brown colour, white semi-thick head. A sour-ish aroma which is also present in the taste. Brings me to think about Belgian style beers. Also tastes of sweet malts and hints of oak.

Medium beige head. Slightly hazy amber body. Dried fruit and nuts aroma with vinegary perfumy caramel notes. Sweet-sour earthy astringent fruity taste with wooden notes. Mid-to-thin body. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish chalky earthy wooden aftertaste with perfumy fruity notes. Unusual, but I don’t know that it’s very nice. Also does not taste like a "premium lager" at all. (0.35l can shaped as a bottle, from a supermarket in Sendai.)
