On tap at Tsuki to Taiyo Brewing. Clear straw-gold with a nice big pillowy white head. Nose has some grass, wet grain, cheese and butter notes. Taste is grainy with some hop flavor coming out but as it warms it becomes like buttermilk. Diacetyl bomb. --- Beer merged from original tick of Susukino Pilsener on 17 Jul 2015 at 18:46 - Score: 4

This brewery is not closed, they shut-down their restaurant and stopped making anything but a standard lager which is sold in cans around Sapporo. It is aimed at tourists I guess with the can covered in photos of Sapporo. It poured a clear straw color with minimal head. I’d heard it sucked but it was quite drinkable. Sweet & easy to drink when straight from the fridge but it didn’t have a whole lot of flavor. When it warmed up some grassy notes came through. It’s an ok lager which is not what I want from a craft beer.

Hazy straw, malt-accented aroma with paint or glue phenols. Bland, although is does have some fresh grains. Fairly soft body, but this boring stuff isn’t my can of beer.

Draught at the brewery, 2007. Decent malt and hop aromas, nice rounded, slightly buttery flavor in the Czech mold. Decent hopping and good flavor generally, a bit fruity. Nice beer, well balanced, though I was not as impressed this time as the first time I had it in the bottle! Can, 2012. Very sweet malts, too much diactyl, much less hop aroma and bitterness. Going downhill, it would seem, unless I just got a bad one... 6/3/6/3/13= 3.1

12 oz can from hogfodder, who brought this one back from Japan, and shared it with after4ever and myself. Pour is clear golden with a smallish white head. Aroma of sweet rice and some maltiness. Taste is pretty flat and watery. Some of the hop floral comes through in the taste. Not bad just dull. Though its likely not in the cards, would love to try this on draft. Thanks for sharing, Rick.

On draft at the brewery restaurant. Deep golden color, frothy white head with toasty malts and a touch of grain. Slightly flowery bitterness, but definetely more on the german than Czech style as hops are definetely toned down. Very clean. Moderately bitter finish. Best of thier beers.
