Sweet malts, caramel, and biscuit. Quite balanced. Fantastic view for my last beer in Japan, from the 22nd floor of the Asahi building. What a trip this has been, arigato Japan!

Straight from the can so no comments on the looks. Aroma and taste of malts, Caro Kaffee, caramel and grains with just a little bit of sweetness. Low bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. It’s alright I guess.
