330ml can from a Kyoto Family Mart. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, cardboard, some light citrus fruits, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, malt, light gluey, light floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. A little less light and with a little more flavour than your average macro produced pale lager.

Initially, this is a straight forward garbage lager. But it does add some I interest a few sips I. The malt lrofil becomes fuller along with a light hop layer. This is still quite the Japanese macro lager but it is a fuller, slightly more enjoyable version.

Can from Lawson's, Clear orange gold in color with a cheap grainy malt adjunct character. 140¥ yen cheap Happoshu but not terrible for what it is.
