Sapporo Reserve

A strong dark Lager. Pretty good. malty aroma. Pours gold dark yellow head. Originally I picked it up because I thought the can looked cool.

Sweet and malty in the aroma. Pours gold. A pretty nice gold color actually. Light malt flavor,a little bread, with a super crisp finish. Very basic but it gets the job done.

The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Poured slightly darker than your average pale lager with a foamy white, two-finger head. Some lacing. The aroma was malty, slightly herbal and even a bit of citrus. The flavor was almost pure malt. Some hints of hop bail this thing out at the end. The mouthfeel is thin and almost overcarbonated.

Can, off gold Tastes just like regular sapporo would taste, but way maltier. not bad.

sun gold with yellow white dissolving head leaving nice lace medium thick creamy body with light carbonation. grain and slight vanilla earth aroma, grainy malt with some light cream and carmel good refreshing restaurant beer

Aroma of light grass and noticeable malt. Orange tinged gold coor with a white head that collapsed, but left some lacing. Medium+ mouthfeel; low carbonation; sort of a warm malt foundation, and there is definitely some decent pilsener type hop in the finish. If it was not quite so malty, and had a bit more hop, I’d think it actually was a pilsener. Way better than Bud.

not bad. has some good components, but something is lacking. enjoyed at mt. fuji with a spicy menu. dry and low on flavor. grainy and interestingly strongish carbonation. smooth,grassy,ricey and moderate of body.
