Considered Sapporo’s flagship, this showed more German heritage than the plain Sapporo, but still didn’t do it for me.

I’m getting an orange zest smell, maybe a touch of baked bread aswell. The colour is a golden haze, nothing so special as to start a craze.
The taste is better than some other japanese brews, watery and light but give it its dues.
A tartness towards the end of the glass, on a six pack i would not pass.
Having said all that it’s still not great. Ill give it a 10 minus 8.

(Bottle) I think this beer is miscategorized as a "pale lager" and I have a hard time understanding why it has such low reviews. This tastes more like a typical German Dortmunder/Helles, except without the richness of the malt. There are a lot of hops and the hops have a German character to them...good, somewhat metallic, but not unpleasant. Moderately bitter; much more bitter than is typical for something called a "pale lager". The main thing lacking about this beer is that it is extremely thin, to the point of being very watery. Still, it’s a perfectly drinkable beer. There is no unpleasant sweetness the way there is in most pale lagers.
