Can (Tokyo). Clear golden-amber color, small steady white head. Aroma has light sweet fruity maltyness. Medium-bodied. Quite good maltyness for a bulk lager, but otherwise can’t agree earlier ratings. Sweetish rice, grain flavor. Not much bitterness. Even some nasty adjunct notes. Meh.

35cl can sixpack at Wellcome in Hong Kong. Very nice design, 590 HK$, 5.5%. Dark gold color, clear, big bubbly white head. Nose is somewhat hoppy. Aroma is refreshing, focusing on flowery hops, sort of american hop, floral, honey. Mild malts, rice, soapy overtones. Taste is sweetish with a bitter finish, texture tend to be oily, medium bodied. Actually, nice.

An Orion & Asahi collaboration (not too hard as Orion is owned by Asahi), 5.5% served in a footed pilsner glass. It pours a deep gold with a thick foamy white head that leaves some soapy looking lacing behind. The nose is a bit earthy & malty with some sugary macro-lager sweetness. The taste is a bit rough, sweet, malty herbal green hop finish - it comes across more as hop extract than real hops. I agree regarding pepper and lemon notes. The body is slick but finishes with a watery feeling in your mouth. Not that bad but one was enough for me.

przyjemny, dość rześki zapach - słodkie owoce, zioła i lekkie cytrusy. kolor złoty, przejrzysty, piana nawet niezła. w smaku pełne, słodowe z wyczuwalną, wyraźną, ale dość niską goryczką. bardzo lekki posmak kartonu. do tej pory zdecydowanie najlepsze piwo z oriona jakie piłem.

Can. Sweet malty flavor, bread, lemony hops, grass. Decent bitter finish, peppery hops linger on. Darn well hopped for a pale lager. Crisp and drinkable, summery. A bit gassy and the grains are a bit harsh, but otherwise better than expected.
