60cl bottle in Nanjing, China. Pours blonde and clear, with fine white foam. Aroma is of honey and cereal. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is moderately bitter, with quite some sweetness behind. Final is average.

Tap at New Takumi. Clear deep golden. Hay, maybe. Clean, not too sweet, no issues. It is drinkable.

Can shared by Tom, thanks! Pours a clear yellow with a gold hue, visible carbonation with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of slightly earthy straw with light hay and grain supporting. Flavor has lots of straw and light hay with a touch of bread underlying.

0.33 l bottle bought in a random Spanish store. Pale golden color, no head. Some strange aroma, which i cant identify. Bitterish taste, but totally average, leaves a somehow dry feeling in my mouth. Not bad but not good either.
