Bottle. Medium copper color, rather tall head, fine to medium bubbles. Just a bit cloudy. Amber malt aroma, slightly earthy, a bit fruity, nice hops. Light malt flavor, amberish, decent hops. Overall a dry impression, rather weak. A touch of fruit—cherries maybe. Really a weak malt beer for 6%. Decent hops, though. A truly undistinguished ale, though not overall bad. Dry, hoppy finish, though not at all fragrant.

Pours a clear gold with subtle amber tones and a medium, off white head. Aroma is sweet malt with a little fruit. Flavor is slightly grassy, malt, and sweet. Ends with a decent bitterness. Has a medium body. The best Kirin I’ve had to date, but I don’t know if thats saying much.

Medium offwhite shiny coarse head quickly disappears. Deep orange body. Sweetish fruity hop and honey aroma. Sweetish fruity hop taste with a metallic, grassy tinge. Dry, softly metallic grassy aftertaste. Clean, harmonic, and well balanced. A bit denser than most industrial pale lagers. Quite good, but I doubt this is an ale. (0.3l bottle.)
