Can. Ok. Got this cheap-ass 3rd category so-called Pale Ale finally, after searching for about 2 weeks. I am sure I will not be impressed, but got to give it a shot. About ¥150 after tax. Nose is thin and watery, with grains, light caramel, and light, grassy, vaguely British hops. Color is a clear amber-brown with a low head that looked nice at first but quickly dissipated. Pretty dark for the style. Then again, what is the style? Flavor is nothing like beer. Candy, apple, caramel, wtf? Not sure what this tastes resembles, but it isn't a British ale. Spritzy and thin. Kind of sucks. I mean, it is drinkable if you imagine it's not beer but never again and the rest will quickly find the drain.
