Can (which is now blue). Pale gold with a 2cm white head that fades. Vapid aroma - light grain, hints of lemon dishsoap. But a little more malt presence upin a swig - a pretence at richness - and enough bitterness to know it's there. It's not trying to do much.

0,33l can from some Kombini, enjoyed @ Kuretake Premium Inn Fujinomiya. Pours clear golden with a medium head. Aroma is full clean malts. Flavor is full clean malts with some hops. Decent.

500ml can from a 7-11 in Fukuoka. I wish I hadn't. Standard Asian pale lager color, minimal head, flavors of light straw /slightly sweet / with minimal hops. Might be refreshing on a hot day, but then so would a much better beer. How can extra taste this much worse than Sapporo draft?

Can from the super market. Medium golden, lots of bubbles, tall, foamy head. Slight citrus and grass hop with plain malts. Slight sweetness, bit of grain, low hop. Drinkable, lightly fruity, ok for a basic industrial lager.
