Crisp light amber in colour, decent foamy head (ok, I am not going to start about how these bubbles look a bit artificial etc.). Aroma malty, messy and not that special. Taste is even maltier, some metallic notes are making it harsh and feels totally unbalanced. At the same time sweetness is high and these messy bitter hops are not really doing anything about it. Not a fan.

Bottle from Family Mart. Pours a nice ruby color with light biscuity malt notes, light honey and granola. More honey and granola on the palate, with a hint of persimmon, toasted nuts and caramel. Too sweet for me, but some nice bitterness that cuts through the sweetness on the finish. Not bad. --- Beer merged from original tick of Akiaji Tanno on 31 Aug 2016 at 12:54

Bottle from Yamaya. Deep amber-orange with a tall, fine head. Rich caramel malt nose, bit candyish, toasty, touch of hops and minerals. Dryer flavor than expected, some caramel, bit of stone fruit, rich bready malt, ok bitterness, bit peppery finish. Not too sweet. Medium body. Not a bad autumn drink, though it was released a bit too early since it is still 35 C. today.
