On tap in Tokyo. Pours a clear golden hue with a small white head. A nice fruity nose. Sweet citrus, lemon, very fresh hops. Smooth. This is great. Needs to be this fresh.

12 oz bottle at Sunday in Saigon in Alexandria VA. Poured a clear yellow color with a fizzy white head. Aroma was light grassy notes, light crisp malts. Touch of grain. Light sweetness. Standard lager - it’s fine.

Can sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Tom L. Yellow with a white head. Nice aroma, grainy, with citric and slightly grassy hops. Slightly sweetish flavor, grainy, with malt, bread, and a bitter hops finish. Pretty nice and refreshing.

35cl can from lawson, shinjuku, around 300Y. Pale color short white head quicly reducing. Aroma is malty, grainy with noble hops and some flowers. There is a vague spicy note, taste is flat a bit salty. Clean dry finish. Decent lager but nothing more.

Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear straw colour with a long lasting frothy white head. The aroma is light citrus, some malt, woody hop. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a crisp, slightly yeasty, big hop bitter palate and a strong bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

On tap at tokyu food show event. Straw color with a nice medium soapy white head. Big fruit basket nose with peach and pear standing out. Bitter on the palate with a touch of sweetness presumably from the malt. Really enjoyable lager. Nice bitter clean and crisp finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hitachino Nest Lager on 27 Oct 2015 at 00:01 - Score: 7

golden color. Big fruity passion fruit and mango nose. Solid bitterness in the mouth. Very well balanced. Med bodied. I am guessing this is about 5.5% to 6.0% ABV, but I guess I was wrong. Well executed fruit bowl lager.

On tap at the GJBF in Osaka 2014. A clear copper gold. More of an IPL in the nose with a resinous bitter hoppy aroma. Med-light bodied with a silky mouthfeel. This is a bitter hoppy beast that showcases earthy hop flavors. A pleasant surprise.
