Medium golden color with one of the pronounced noses I've had from a major Japanese brewer. It is off to a good start, but was worried about the 6% abv as usually Japanese majors can't pull off higher abv lagers and this is no exception. Slightly boozy and richer than it needs to be. Nice firm bitterness, which is nice. I didn't find it boozy or cloying as some other 6% beers, but this could be taken down a notch. Still modestly refreshing and nice dry bitterness. Pretty decent IMO

Can. Fruity hop nose, orange, peaches, a bit of melon. Crisp lager malt. Golden orange color, clear. Boozy, sweet, rich, ok hops. Rather full and too much malt and booze. Not bad but would have better to stick to 5%. The hop flavors are somewhat candy-like and fake.

16 ounce can. Pours a clear yellow color with a large white head. A smooth malty nose. Light toast, some fruit, a biscuit English pale flavor, certainly not hop dominated. OK, pretty good beer if you're stuck at 7/11.
