Super can, with sushi take out. Actually, mega can is more appropriate. Even when the beer is poured this thing is still got some weight to it! Anyway, I don’t see the "reserve" status here. Apple-fruit accented grainy aroma. Lagery, papery, clean. It does the job as a palate cleanser with the sushi but there really isn’t much to go on about.

Golden pour with a fizzy head. Pretty standard macro lager, with the addition of a hint of citrus. I did not get any skunkiness, which may be because I poured from a can. Just a beer.

22oz. can pours clear golden with thick white head that quickly disapates. Aroma is a little bit of malt. First taste is watery malt and not much else. Carbonation is high, flavor is low. I often drink regular sapporo because it is cheap but this was not worth the extra $$.

Tasting at Brewtopia. Reserve?? What??? Piss poor. Yellow beer. White head. Aromas of corn, malt, slight hops. Nasty flavor. I don’t get it. PREMIUM? HELL NO.

This was definitely the best of a recent tour of Asian beers I took (all without leaving Wisconsin), but that is still not saying all that much. This beer pours a darker color than regular Sapporo, which is something that you might expect from a beer called "reserve." This beer offers some up nice maltiness, which came to me as a baking bread aroma and flavor. More than I expected, but hardly terric.

Dark golden color with carbonation. Tall white head. Nil aroma-some hops and bread. Not much of a beer.

9/20/08 From 660ml can, Cans, Tacoma, Wa. Aroma is strangely a blend on noble hop flora and fresh baked whole grain bread. Appearance is clear gold with a low white head. Flavor is sour pils malt forward with a strong noble hop background and medium bittering. Mouthfeel is very low bodied with a medium/high carb texture. Overall, not very easy drinking, but more character than expected.
