Marginally drinkable, but bland. Reminds me too much of what a lot here have said about a certain ’King of Beers,’ but not having had said ’King of Beers’ lately, it’s hard for me to comment with accuracy. Positive marks for appearance because of the can, but I can get the same effect just looking at it in the store (plus I already have the one can I ever bought, to keep for my collection). Highly doubtful that I’d buy this again.

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2004 Slight scent of acidic malt , faint fruity aroma . Boiled - hop flavour . Over all boring , plain lager .

the looks of a can does have a positive effect on the taste of a brew, a hidden sub-liminal plan by the breweries i think

transparent golden colour, few head, almost no aroma, watery and flat with a long, unpleasant, dry finish

Smooth and inoffensive. In many ways like American standard lager, I found Sapporo to be light bodied and subdued in most areas. It differed in having a noticeably heightened bitter compared to its US counterparts.

Not sort of special. Japanese beer coming from Ireland ?!

Not a bad beer by any means. Sure, it is lacking a bit in the flavor department but it makes up in it drinkability. Sapporo is a great ’light’ beer (as in easy to chug and not getting you too drunk too fast) to sit around at a party and drink, but I do not think it is worth the $7.00 a six pack that it costs.

A very standard tasting beer. Nothing offensive but nothing exciting either. Light bodied with a bitter finish.

Great Can. Great beer? NO!

surprisingly nice clean taste
