Bottle in Hongkong. Grainy malty beginning. Fresh, not too deep. Hints of malt, fresh, smooth grainy. Medium bitter aftertaste, round and smooth. Nice.

Clear golden coloured yellow body with a thin white head. Aroma of malt, alcohol and very little else. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic malt flavour at first with a lot of hay and grass noticeable and very little else. Aftertaste shows mostly water and a hint of caster sugar and a touch of light malt. Overall, not much going on with this one, but it wasn’t bad nor aggressive, just mild and watery. I sampled this 33 cL long neck bottle, best by 14-July-2014 purchased from City!Super in Harbour City, Kowloon, Hong Kong on 22-June-2014 for HK$28,00 sampled in my hotel room here in Wan Chai, Hong Kong later in the day.

As a non-Japanese reader it’s hard to decipher the labels between all these Echigo products... this one definimately says "organic" on the bottom so I think I’m good. Has a decent but foamy head and that average yellow body. Aroma is corn with some slight earthiness, which tells me perhaps it is in fact an organic brew! flavour is a mix of rice adjunct and grain with some grassy notes. The grassiness makes all the difference though for these macro brews: it feels less fake and is a bit easier to suck down. Just a bit.

Golden but with no head and some large bubbles. The aroma has a toasty, biscuity character. A more watery body has still a somewhat biscuity accent and only a shade of herbal hop.

Can. Brewed by Echigo for Japan Beer. Not sure if it is the same as ’Premium Organic’ or not, but it is packaged without reference to Echigo. Deep golden color, quickly dissipating head. Color nice. Rich malty flavor, cereals and grains, biscuits. A touch of fruit, but mostly big grains. Flavor also big on grain. Sweet, malty, rich, with light hops. Slightly fruity and hoppy finish, just enough to keep it balanced. A bit of lingering bitterness. Overall, malt-centered, like an export. Nothing really special about it, but it certainly is a reliable lager. Good price too.
