Yebisu Asuka Cruise

Can. Mellow malty aroma, cereals, maybe a touch of cardboard, a bit of honey. Deep gold with a fine, low head. Color halfway between regular Yebisu and the Orange Premium can. Malty, rich, cereal flavor. Too sweet, really, yet with some tangy fruit and a bit of citrus hop. Rich and smooth. OK, but boring and needs more hop flavor as usual. Has a decently bitter finish, though. The regular Yebisu is better, I think. Why do they bother with these half-assed gimmicks that are just a bit different than the normal one? Too expensive at \290. Sapporo, try to make a really different beer just once!
