Bottle. Aroma is sweet and sweets, green apple nerds, plus some more authentic apple fruitiness. Taste is good. Apple is more subdued but still there, more in the aftertaste. Some sweetness. Think I preferred the crystal one, but this is still quite nice.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a clear pale gold with a soapy white head that lasts mostly throughout. Night light aromas of apple and malt with nice grainy aromas. Active carbonation with medium to medium-light body. Some light apple on the finish. Very light, crisp and refreshing. Nice fruit beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Apple Lager on 14 Nov 2015 at 20:41 - Score: 6

330 ml bottle from Aeon Liquer @ Hon-Atsugi. Pours pale, slightly hazy with a white bubbly head. Aroma is quite sweet, green apple, bubble gum and a bit of bread crumbs. Taste is actually not so sweet - but apples are still there. Somewhat cider-like taste where you have acidity from apples balanced with malt roundness. A bot of hops left in the aftertaste, lingering on you tongue, feeling like slightly bitter apple peels. Quite pleasant and better than I expected.

5% bottle from the brewery via rakuten. A clear gold with a thin white head. The aroma is apple and a yeasty sweetness. Medium bodied, sweet, apple but with a solid malt backbone letting you know it is a beer & not a cider. I concur with KyotoLefty’s rating this is a well done fruit beer. Too many Japanese Apple beers come off like a cider, well done. ----Feb 2014---- Bottle from the same set drunk in a comparative tasting with the Crystal Apple Lager. Bottle from a set on rakuten. 5% Served in a flute type glass. Drunk side by side with their regular Apple Lager. As they have a Crystal Apple Lager I was expecting this to be cloudy but it is a clear gold with a fizzy white head that leaves good lacing behind. The nose is a malt earthiness with mild apple aroma. Kind of like an apple orchard. The taste is slightly sour apples with a good biscuity malt base & some grassy lightly bitter hop presence in the finish. Medium body. A subtle apple lager that doesn’t forget it is a beer & verge into cider territory. Good stuff.

Bottle from Yamaoka. 2008 version. Malty aroma, butter, apples, hops. Slightly sweet but not at all overly so. Super light gold color, thin looking, like a cider, low head quickly turning to lace. Sparkling and clear. Deep malt flavor, rich and thick, with bitter and honey, a touch of molasses, and apples, but not too much. Very well balanced. Hops just barely there, but they add just enough bitterness. Could be slightly less sweet. A proper lager with nice apple added, and not too much. Way better than last year’s. Nicely done fruit beer. Great mouthfeel with weight but sparkling enough to lift it up.
