Tap at JBC. Nice. Salt, caramel, high on malt. Aroma is kind of earthy. Brown bread. Good stuff.

Pours nice reddish or more copper shade of amber. Nice head at first that reduces later into a thin film. Aroma is traditional for lagers, slight crisp grainy feel covered with faintly fruit-ish noble hops. Taste feels at first just nicely easydrinkable but then the subtleties start showing up. There is nice nutty thing going on, slight caramel in the taste. I am also getting bitter rowan berries and aftertaste has lots of lingering but quite tame bitterness.Does not get cloying at any point, all flavours are in good balance. Very well executed, superbly drinkable lager beer.

Light amber color. Lots of butter popcorn and fruit but very malty. I think it is well made but wish there was more hops and had more body. Not my favorite

On tap at CBM Koenji. Hazy amber with a modest off-white head. Huge malt aromas with caramel, toffee and a slight bubblegum presence on the nose. Taste is more of the same. Sweet with a hint of saltiness. Great breadiness and sweetness with the hops taking a backseat to the malt. Really cool lager. --- Beer merged from original tick of Oku Noto Legend / Densetsu on 05 Jun 2015 at 23:14 - Score: 7

On tap at the GJBF as the Okunoto Legend Lager. 5% a lovely amber lager. These guys are lager experts. A crystal clear glowing amber brown. Bready malts, good caramel. The taste is luscious and sweet, bready light malts. Deliciously light malts. Subtle goodness.

Draught at the brewpub. Medium amber-orange color. Interesting aroma of crackers, salt, a bit of caramel, plus a strange fruitiness. Light caramel sweetness with apricots and salt-minerals. Light, interesting and tasty. The deep sea water adds a strange and original mineral character.
