1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Can (rated Apr 2008).
Head is mostly diminishing.
Body is light to medium yellow.
Aroma is lightly malty (grain, husks), trace hops (flowers), with a strong note of DMS.
Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter, husky, unclean.
Light body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation.
In a word, horrible. This is gutter-swillin’ brew.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clearish golden coloured body with a thin white head and a bunch of bubbles in the body. Aroma of malt, light caramel and caster sugar. Light-bodied; Very mild malty flavour with a lot of sweetness and almost nothing else - super mild! Nice finish with no bitterness, no metal flavours and just a sweet finish that goes down really easily! Overall, a surprisingly decent beer, with only sweetness leftover from the taste. Worth trying if you are here in Japan - not a bad option at all. I sampled this 33 cL can purchased from a small grocery store in Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan on 04-August-2010.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Canned. Very pale golden colour. Big fluffy white head that dissolves into a film. Medium lacing and bubbly carbonation. Aroma rather grassy and hints of lemon. Mostly citrus in the flavour with a thin mouthfeel. Slightly metallic finish.
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Pours a pale yellow color with a white head. Aroma is malty, citrus, honey, and slightly floral. Flavor is malty, citrus, honey, and a light floral finish.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Funny thing about Japan--their cheap beer tastes like cheap beer.
Wait... That’s not really funny.
This stuff is actually pretty decent. It seems more similar to American macros than most Japanese macros which are somewhat more Pilsener-like and bitter.
0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Clear golden with active fermentation and a tiny head. Malts, sweet, some citrus fruit. Is there something thinner than water? Rather tasteless...a bit sweet. One of the lessor Japanese brews out there.
