2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
pours golden yellow again, small head, smaller than above CO2, less CO2 streams, ringed retention again, same stickyish lacing. A bit sweeter nose and clean honey. Tastes 6/10 sweet (sweeter than #1), very very mild bitterness, crisp, almost no bitter finish, slight gumminess. Mild hops, hints of bitter lemon peel and aranciata. Low-medium depth, low-medium complexity, medium length, okay carry. A much "cleaner" finish with a creamier backdrop. More enjoyable than the gold can.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Can bought in beer shop Kagurazaka. Pours pale yellow. Nose is very sweet barley and wheat grain malt. An almost white sugary quality to the sweetness. Also a lactic creaminess in there. Taste is also malty sweet and sugary with a lactic creaminess. Body is quite watery and very light.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
From a can. Golden coloured with frothy white head. Aroma is grainy, bit creamy with very slight citrus element. Taste is slightly bitter and plenty of malty cereal. Pretty fizzy in the mouth. Light caramel element in the aftertaste and towards the end tasted some apple juice like elements bizarrely.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden with frothy white head. Minor lacing. Mild grain and lemon hop aroma. Lite body with lemony hop finish.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Can, Light gold colour. Hop and Malt smell. Medium Body. Wheat malt feel adn a bitter aftertaste. Feels processed and chemically. Definatly not as good as the other Yebisu drinks.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Can 350 ml
Aroma ordinary grainy nose with dusty malts , slight fruity tones behind.
Appearance pours as amber gold with frisky carbonation and medium white top.
Taste/Body/Palate Medium light bodied. Soft grainy character with slight hint of hop. Mid body felt even lighter , soft palate helps neutralize its high carbonation. Bland and uninspiring.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Can, arigatou Tori! Clear yellow colour with a small white head. Grainish mild herbish aroma with a light flowery touch. Thin mouthfeel. Flavour: mild wheaty, herbish, bit grain and mild flower.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bought along with two other Yebisu newbies in an upmarket department store in Nara, Japan. Easily the least impressive, tasting like a middle-of-the-road English lager having a good day. Clean, sweet, innocent and well, that’s about it really. It does no harm.
