Rice. Light sweetness. Decent bitterness. It’s alright! Dry!

Drank at the Aeon Mall near Okayama station. It was fresh and in perfect condition. golden color, frothy white head. Nice herbal saaz hoppy dry nose. Fantastically clean palate, dry, grassy, herbal and the rice was some what present in the back of the throat giving a touch of sake like character and sweetness. Biting bitter finish with herbal notes lingering. I like that the sake plays a really background note with this. Absolutely wonderful.

Tap at Okayama Aeon Mall as part of my 1000 yen tasting set. Clear gold with a thick beige head. A floral Pilsner malt aroma. Crisp and light with a wildflower honey type sweetness. Solid and easy drinking - I downed this fast. 3.6

czysty, delikatny, chmielowy (ziołowy) zapach. jasny kolor (pite z butelki, więc nie wiem jak było z pianą, ale samo piwo jasno słomkowe, wyróżniające się). w smaku delikatne, rześkie, dość smukłe z delikatną, ale wyczuwalną goryczką.

Bottle from Taniguchi. Biscuity nose, malty, light caramel and light esters. Clea hops and maybe the tiniest hint of diacetyl. Perhaps a bit of rice, but not in a bad way. Pale gold, clear, low frothy head. Sweet and grainy, biscuits, subtle, grassy hop. Nice full malt, good body. Rather like a proper helles. Nicely bitter finish. Impressive really. Better than expected.
