A chilled beer with live yeast, also supposed to have more hop flavor. That it does, although still on a very Japanese scale. Slightly hoppy aftertaste, but not enough really. Not a bad beer, actually much better than the average Japanese lager. Approaches a good pilsner, but not really there. Hops are a bit evident in the nose, but then again, not quite what I had hoped for.

Small shiny white head. Yellow body. Clean grassy hop aroma. Taste is light, clean grassy hops with a nice, dry edge to it. Dryish oily grassy aftertaste. Very nice for industrial pale lager. (0.3l bottle.)
