(Can) Pours clear golden with good white head. Little aroma - grainy with hints of grass and toffee. Light body with reasonable carbonation. Taste starts bready with some light caramel hints, but is followed by a nasty bitterness and some tart notes. Weird and quite unpleasant overall.

35 cl can. Golden color, clear, big stable white head. Straw and biscuits, grainy malts somehow resembling the Czech/Svetly pilseners. A lot of hay/straw, a bit salty, a little sharp maybe, starch. Taste is sweetish with a subtle bitterness in the finish. Light to medium body, lively carbonation, smooth finish, a bit dusty and metallic, a little dry.

Can from 7-11. Darker straw with big bubbles. No head. Has not much aroma. On the palate, malty swill, touch of graininess, not really finding any of that umami. Ok malt-accented mainstream lager. Good, but not as good as regular Malt’s.

Suntory The Malts Umami 5% Served in my teku glass it's a deep gold with a thick foamy white head. The aroma is savoury sweet grainy maize maltiness with some green hop bitterness. The taste is super sweet, grainy sugary, almost like an artificial sweetener with a mild hop bite. The body is slick, oily and sweet. Not terrible but just too damn sweet. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

500 ml can. Nice nose. Bit malt, citrus and herbal saaz hops. Clear, deep gold with low, fine head. Flavor is much less interesting. Yes, there is umami, in ths kind of sickly way, rich amino acids, almost shellfish-y, MSG kind of thng. Heavy, just a bit cloying, too full. Ok hoppy finish though. Not as bad as many have said, but the regular beers are better for sure.
