Tap in Sapporo tap room. Clear, brilliant gold with a medium head. Bright noble hop nose. Clean bready malt. Crisp palate, bright hops, clean bitterness, rich but not heavy malt. Basically what I want in a daily pilsner.

Well the clouds have rolled in but I’ll enjoy this anyways! Hop Kotan Upopo Pilsner 5% Nice looking gold with a dense fluffy white topping of foam. It has a soft bready sweet malt aroma with perfume floral hops. Slightly scratchy carbonation on a nice soft medium body. Grainy up front, crisp finish with quite a bit of herbal hop notes in the finish and aftertaste. Well done.

Crystal clear golden with a white head. Plenty of citrus and pine notes. Nice sharp bitter bite. Nice but a bit lacking in overall flavor.

More like a golden ale than a pils. Lemon and shandy like. Lacking in excitement. Second time round... Nice stuff. Good wheatiness, but hoppier than the German one. Think I prefer that one but this is a good drop!
