4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Sapporo Reserve has a thick, soapy, slightly off-white head, and a clear, yellow-golden appearance, with lots of streaming bubbles and pretty thick lacing. The aroma is standard lager- barley and water. Taste is sweet, bread, lightly-roasted barley, and a bit of hops for rounding purposes. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Sapporo Reserve finishes crisp, clean, refreshing, mild, and easy drinking. This is a lager the way it’s supposed to be, and it’s delicious. RJT
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
500 ml can. An uninspiring beer. Lots of corn and sweet pilsiner malts in both aroma and flavor. Bright gold in color. A very generic beer.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Gold color with a white head and some light lacing . Nose of grassy hops and malt. Medium mouthfeel; Low carbonation. Flavor is lightly bitter and floral hops. Beats Bud by a mile.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
500ml bottle in a lager glass. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of pale malts and light hops. Light texture. Not terrible for a lager.

Just what you would expect from any mass produced lager. Not sure what makes it reserve. Always fun to get with sushi if you not a Sake fan. Drink slightly better than American lagers in my opinion.

What a surprise! This brew was much better than I had anticipated and has helped start the change in my mind as to the perceptions that I have towards certain beers from Asia! I truly enjoyed the maltiness of this brew! It looked so light but has a really good ‘chewy’ texture to it but it is nothing overbearing so don’t let that throw ya! This brew was very tasty too with flavors that were very well-blended. I will certainly be venturing more with Asian beers thanks to the likes of this one!

Detected a mild wheat aroma. Pours nice and clear golden yellow with active carbonation. Has a light sweetness and bitterness. Finishes nice without any unpleasant aftertaste. A nice brew.
