Tap at Blue Room Kamakura. Lightly crisp, wheaty, touch of butter, but I don't mind that as much as some do. Aroma is grassy with a touch of plastic.

I never thought in a million years I could rate craft beer at a Japanese baseball game, but I am here in Yokohama watching the Baystars on a perfect mid-June evening with friends and enjoying Baystars Lager. Big frothy white head, deep golden color. Nice cereal malts jump from the nose with modest grassiness. Very clean, dry, moderately aggressive bitterness with some fruitiness in the mouth. super well balanced with lots of cereal malts. Lovely.

Keg at the brewpub - Yokohama. Pours clear yellow with a fluffy, white head. The aroma holds clean biscuits, straw, pale bread, a little grass. Light sweet flavour with subtle tinny notes, crisp biscuits, mild bitter hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Neatly balanced finish, with nips of citrus peel, more hay and biscuits, low bitterness - but enough. Very drinkable pils.

Tap at the brewpub. Clear gold with a finger of white foam. Buttery popcorn nose with some light grass, but mostly popcorn butter. Taste is a little better, malt forward with out much hop flavor. Finishes clean. Disappointing, maybe the batch was off. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bay Pilsner on 10 Jan 2016 at 19:27 - Score: 4

Tap at Bungalow. Biscuity pilsner malt nose, lemony hops. Huge pilsner malt flavor, rather sweet, light butter, some lemon. Clear CZ malt and hop character as was intended. Not sure where this was brewed--heard some lager brewing might have been done at Nihonkai Club--but this is very nice. Just a bit too sweet and thus lacking crispness, but on the right road. --- Beer merged from original tick of Brewing Bay Pilsner on 25 Sep 2020 at 09:12 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7. Original review text: Bottle from the brewery. Slighty grainy, crackery nose. A bit worty. Very mild hops. Deep golden with a large, airy head. slightly sweet grainy flavor, not very malty at all, with some porridge. Noble hops come in mid palate, herbal, light citrus, strong bitterness in the finish. Body is rather thin. The Czech character is rather weak, aside from the dry, strikingly bitter finish. Malt character isn't enough for me. It's a tasty lager with no flaws, but not a proper svetly.

On tap at the brewpub, shared by Chuwy, a clear gold pour, solid mouthfeel with a crisp bitter finish. Solid enough.
