Bottle 330ml. Boring pale lager. Aroma of light citrus. Taste is sweet, and short-lived. Palate is thin and watery. Very pale, with no head.

I’m sorry but I must say it. UGH! First off this beer has a very weedy aroma. It has the typical lager appearance to it but with very little head or carbonation. If you’re looking for an "exotic" lager I’d look to Singha. It’s not great either, but they do a much better job in the aroma and taste department. This is honestly one of the worst beers I’ve ever had.

640 ml bottle my brother brought back from South Korea. Not exactly a rarity here, but the label and size were unusual. Pours a clear, very pale yellow with a head that starts strong and fizzes out quickly. Huge skunk in the aroma, along with some corn, grass, and wet grains- nasty smelling. Flavor of grass, seaweed, skunk, wet paper, grains, corn, and rice. This is just really, really bad.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color. Mild aroma of hops and grain, but more on the weak side. Goes down easy with a light body. Very watery. Went well with heavy japanese food and sushi. Subdued, almost watery flavor reminded of cheaper American beers.

Very clear pale yellow color with a super white, soapy head. Lots of bubbles. Head retention wasn’t too bad and it left a decent amount of lacing. Once the head was gone it left a fine little ring around the top. Not too bad looking really. A mild, somewhat grassy hop aroma. Some floral notes and I am getting hints of an almond note. Not bad at all. This beer has a nice bit of sweetness to the flavor. It was pleasant enough. Some of the "grassy" hop flavor makes an entrance, but it was subdued. A type of citrus in there also. Maybe green grapes? Puzzling. Light mouthfeel that was very smooth and easy going. Very crisp and only a slight bit watery. Some flavoring was left on the palate, but not an over abundance. This beer is easily drinkable. Would be great during the Summer. Very thirst quenching and refreshing. Lacks a bit in flavor, but a beer for socializing without complexity. A beer one wouldn’t have to ponder or try to analyze too much.

Bottle. Pours a clear straw yellow with fast fading white fizzy head. Aroma of skunk and a sharp malt back bone. Not much flavor here, light malt with light mild hop profile. Mouth feel is very watery with high carbonation. Overall, no wonder I overlooked rating this. It is easy drinking though.

Tasted 2010-12-18. Poured clear yellow with white head. A little too clean looking. Had a sweet and slightly acidic malt scent. Same with the taste. OK pilsner, but it doesn’t really need to be exported.

I have this or Sapporo everytime i have sushi and im not sure why, this beer is not worthy of any description, its crap! Im not into sake or hard alchool so next time im just going to have a glass of water with my sushi because this beer is a waste of money!
