Medium golden color with malty caramel nose. Hops are very subtle. Very malty body with caramel with hops very subdued.

better than most japanese pale lagers, a little more of a distinctive taste. had this one at the nobu in miami beach. went well with the suishi as a light colored and bodied beer. a one and done.

Bottle thanks to blutt59. Labeled as an "ale" for Texas...awesome... Pours with a golden body and a fading white head. Aroma of sourness, lemon, acid, tires, and something else that I cannot read from my notes, but I don’t think it was "great!". Taste is grass, and bitter with orange peel. Fizzy and dry.

Deep copper coloured body with a dense tannish coloured head. Aroma of rice, roasted malt, nuts and some toffee and light caramalised sugars. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavour up front with some figs and nuts following soon behind. Aftertaste shows a light sweetness, a very faint hop flavour and very little else. Overall, not a horrible beer by any means, but nothing entirely special. Better than most japanese beers, but not a bad choice at the restaurant. I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased from Nobu (downtown) in New York, New York on 09-December-2007, for $12.
