Pours nice golden/amber, clear and initially with a foamy head that is well.. gone in a second. Aroma has some crispness, malty base, cardboard, something artificial. Taste feels crisply bitter but unfortunately this bitterness feels somewhat plastic or otherwise manipulated and everything succumbs into relatively messy aftertaste. I don’t really like this at all...

Can from 7-11. Ok nose. Lightly spicy hops, somewhat medium rich malt, a touch of caramel. Deep dark gold, orange tints, low head. Clear. Rich malt flavor, some peaches, grass, orange. Full, oily body. Not bad. A bit of tingly hop in the finish. I like regular Yebisu better. Though the malt character is nicer here. Easy drinking, though it should be only 5% for this flavor.
