Another can smuggled in country by my sister in law, thanks Terry! Pours a crystal clear pale golden color with a huge fluffy white head that shows moderate retention and some lace. Smells grainy and a bit sweet with malt. Smells like a PBR if you asked me. Taste is a bit sweet with a grainy malt edge, light pomme fruit, floral hops provide enough balance, but leave little flavor behind. Medium to thin body with a spirited level of carbonation and a sweet grainy mouthfeel. Very clean, nothing objectionable here, but nothing exciting either. If I had a hankering for some pale lager and I was in Japan I might reach for one of these, but its certainly nothing I would go out of my way for.

draught behind Daimaru in Kyoto. Malty, corn aroma, rich sweet malt and adjuncts, some hops, a bit of diacetyl. Light and refreshing, but not serious beer. As happoshu, though, it is not much worse than many regular Japanese macros.

Smallish white head. Yellow body with light carbonation. Light corn and rubber aroma, slightly unbalanced. Dry rubbery taste, very light, with sugary, soft-drink-like notes, and some corn. No real aftertaste, just a lingering papery corn taste, reminiscent of fruit. It’s drinkable, but not very good. (0.35l can from a grocery store in Tokyo.)

Pours clear golden with a decent sized white head. Aroma is pretty bad, actually. Medium, relativly smooth body. tastes much better than it smells, but thats not saying much. Grains, malt, sweet, and metallic. No finish. Much better macros out there.
