18/10/2024. Can from GS25 Gwangan Branch, Suyeong-gu, Busan. Pours clear light golden amber with a frothy white head. Aroma is malty, bready, sweet fruits, buttered caramel, grass. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, smooth, average carbonation. Quite liked this.

I’ll tell you what, there’s nothing premium about that.

Bottle. Clear gold sporting a proper white head. Aroma and taste of malts (duh), grains, bread and a little bit of lemons. Low to moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. A mediocre Pale Lager done right: inoffensive and süffig yet not that dull and revolting. Maybe Japan‘s best macro Pale Lager.

500ml bottle at home from the local offie. Pale blond colour, very clear, white bubbly head soon fades. Aroma is light caramel, grassy, citrus hops, and wheat. Taste is slightly sweet, some bitterness, nice and malty. Nice and crisp. For some reason I have had a soft spot for this for quite a few years now. Can't really explain why, but it is one of the better macro lagers.

Toriton, Honolulu: pours gold with a white head. Aroma is grainy, sugary malts. Taste is grainy and pretty sweet. Easy to drink, but bland.
