Bottle to glass at Anjin restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is clear pale golden with a small white head. The aroma is cereal malt, rice and a soft sort of synthetic sweetness. The taste is the cereal malt, rice and the sweetness towards the back, cleaner than the nose suggested it would be. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and cereal finish.

A classical and generous lager, particulary refreshing and welcoming for the beginning of the summer, malty, bready, smooth, side of rice well balanced with the malt, classical hop at the final, 10.05.20

Bottled beer at a ramen place near NYU with family. Clear, slightly jellied golden pour, weak head. Grainy, rice mash, slightly sharp nose. Crispy, white grape sweetness, very slight tang, toasty finish, refreshing acid. Thin, bright & fizzy. Good.

More ratings into the void. I had this bottle at a Kobe steakhouse. Not great, light bodied, rice like weak grainy profile. Maybe a light sweetness or fruitiness but unremarkable.

350ml can. Clear, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Weak, grainy malty and strawy, minimally soapy aroma. Taste is minimally grainy, pale malty, mildly bitter and minimally floral-grassy hoppy, hints of rice, a touch of straw. Watery texture, rather indifferent palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Relatively clean and simple, fairly drinkable - nothing exciting.

Sept 08, 2025: poured from 350mL can. Clear blonde with white head. Rice lager with very feint honey and a hint of skunking. Bland, uninteresting. 3/3/3/3/7=1.9

Oct 08, 2022 (5/3/5/2/10=2.5): Poured from 500mL bottle. Clear blonde gold with white head. Honey, bland rice, touch of wheat. Inoffensive, but super boring.
