I prefer Asahi. This tasted a little skunky.

Not much of an aftertaste, but very light for a lager. Great choice with sushi and tastes perfect in a frozen glass. I like it.

Not much mouthfeel, texture, or originality, but-- I’ll be redundant here-- ’sure is a cool can!!’

A thin soft pilsener.

Excellent industrial deign. The can is the nicest and cleanest example of beer marketing technology I have ever seen. However, they seem to believe that superior container design justifies the substitution of water for alcoholic fluids inside the can.

Faint background noise for a good meal. As in, you leave the restraunt and suddenly think ’hey, didn’t I have a beer there? What did it taste like?’

Better than Bud or Coors, but that says about all you need to say. Very smooth, nice dry/sweet balance, but little flavor and a very bland initial impression.
