Can at home. Very pale watery yellow colour. Thin white bubbly head that fades quite quickly. Aroma is grainy with a touch is something spicy and vegetable like. Some malty sweetness too. Taste is similar, couldn't identify it as goya but there is definitely a vegetable taste, quite earthy and peppery. Little bit of lemon and grain there too but overwhelmingly vegetal. Finish is mildly bitter. An interesting concept and fairly easy to drink, but not sure I want it again.

Can in Naha, Okinawa. Clear golden yellow color. White head with good retention. Aroma’s: fruity, rice, like a true Japanese lager. Retronasal it’s also a bit stale and vegetal. Flavor is a bit fruity sour, with a hint of bitterness. Light bodied. Finish is indeed dry, with a weird, rather harsh bitterness that is completely out of place with this beer. Not very good.

Can from Daiei. Drank straight from the can. Aromas of cucumber, apple, fructose and alcohol. Taste is similar with cardboad and wet hay coming out as well. Active carbonation with weird dry and sweet quality. Becomes like a chuhai on the finish. Nasty stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Goya Dry on 29 May 2015 at 19:30 - Score: 4

Can 33 cl. Pours yellow with a vague haze and a lacing white head. Dusty, dry aroma - not entirely sure of what. Medium body, extremely dry and cardboardish. Has an astringent, bitter finish - not necessarily of hops. Oddball. 220214

Canned, thanks KansaiBeerLvrs! Hazy pale golden, small head. Vague, peculiar aroma of star anise and kumquat. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Some honey and white pepper. Low bitterness.
