| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 16, 2004 Bottle pours dark straw with a minor fizzy white head. Carbonation is light, lacing seems good. Aroma is of malts and unsweetened pears. Taste is much the same. Sweet finish, crisp, definately a light, easy to drink lager. Slight hop bitterness in the aftertaste. I've always had a soft spot for Japanese lagers for some reason, being some of the first beers I got into.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 13, 2004 Pours a clear golden color with a attractive medium sized bright white head. Aroma is not too bad actually, nice malty flower smells. Flavor is nothing assertive and is somewhat pleasant with a very clean sweetness with a slight hop finish. Thin body. A decent lager. becksgenius (106), Illinois, USA

Malty, floral aroma.
Thin flavor. Light-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Boring. Volgon (2488), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
