Gold with a small white head. Grainy, sweet corn aroma; Malty lager flavor, but you can taste more hops than typical American macros, a little bitterness in the finish.

Can served at Genji’s in Midland, MI. Pours golden amber with a medium creamy off-white head with pretty good lacing. Aroma of corn and malt. Body is typical for a "premium" lager, not too light but not rich either. Unassertive malt and hops flavors don’t really register, but at the same time it is flavorful enough to not be bland. The finish is mildly hoppy. Drinkable, especially with spicy Japanese food but I wouldn’t bother with this otherwise.

Light amber colour. Light pale malt, fusel and grassy hop aroma. Mild bitterness from noble varieties, light pale malt sweetness and macroish acidity on the palate. Why are so many macrobrews tart like this?

Can. Barley and soy sauce aroma. Golden amber color with small head. Strong soy sauce flavor - corn/rice grain flavor as well. This was the first Asian beer I ever tried - attributed the soy sauce flavor to the food but trying it again with no Asian food in sight, it has to be the beer. Could probably get the same flavor by putting a couple drops of soy sauce in a light beer.

Pour is yellow with a white head. Aroma and flavor are almost non-existant. Bland as the blandest lager can be.

Optimistic about this all malt pale lager, but the appearance was not very promising, a faded inconsistently pissy gold with a foaming but rapidly fading head. Light hint of herbs and spicy hops in the nose, a touch of buttery malts. Hints at a weakish but true pilsner. Perhaps some DMS vegetal notes skirting the edges of the nose. Pretty bland though, and flattish. Dead on the tongue. Slickly sweet because it really lacks bittering hops, and not much flavoring hops either. Feels like a weak malt liquor in the end.
