2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pint bottle. Pours clear dark gold with a lacy white head. Unfortunate catty edge to the nose. Hard to get around it, but behind the cat is a bit of fruit, grass and spice. Medium body and minimal carbonation. Lightly sweet taste with honey, bread and grass. The finish sort of wanders off into the weeds. I was hoping for a bit more from a super-duper premium lager with "only finest European barley, and the most select European hops. "

Bottle. 22 oz. Poured a light clear gold. Not a whole lot going on in the nose. Tasted pretty similar to a miller lite actually. So, better than I expected for a Jap beer. But still not a good brew as Miller Lite is only good for chugging. Cool can though.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from John’s Market Place in PDX--Poured a bubbly straw yellow-golden body with a wimpy white head. Aroma is a blend of malts, rice, and mild spicy hops. Not too skunky, but a little nonetheless. Sharp carbonic mouthfeel that finishes quite bitterly and super dry. Nice Canadian beer--Ha!

Nice looking can: The color of the can and beer match perfectly. Aroma is a mild mix of malt and hops. Flavor is crisp, but sharp astringency with a touch of a metallic bite, not much though. Palate is dry and with a tinge of hops. I don’t like getting buzzed with little or no flavor...
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
I thought I would follow Garrett Olivers advise and try some light lagers while I grill up some seafood. Pours gold with a tall white head. I’m not sure I remember having Sapporo before, but this wasn’t all that bad, crisp, soft hops, non-skunked from being in the can. Not all that bad, although I have to say that is a pretty heavy can.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Very light yeast aroma. Clear golden color with a small white head. Tangy and sweet flavor in the beginning that gradually grow stronger to the finish.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pours a golden pale body with a white head. Pale with a poor malt and a skunky bitter rice flavor. Pass on this one.
