Well, when in Okinawa...Draft in The Toquee, Zamami village. Clear golden color, with sticky white head, dense, but also with big bubbles. Some lacing. Aroma is fruity and soft sweet. Light sweet and fruity flavor. Light bodied. Hint of bitterness in the finish. As expected: Unremarkable but not unpleasant.

~20oz bottle pour at a local sushi restaurant. Poured a golden yellow color, big head, quickly dissipating. Aroma was light rice, sweet grains. Flavor was similar.

22oz bottle shared with my wife on 26th May 2016: poured into two La Chouffe badged tulips at our daughters. Last white crowns on both glasses, the beers body a light golden affair. Mild orange and herbal notes in the nose and taste, although the aroma was very, very weak. Refreshing but a little uninteresting and a typical International Lager/Pilsner in so much as being clean, clear and clinical in looks and flavour.

I’ve had this numerous times over the years, but noticed on my recent trip to Okinawa that this has got markedly better (not sure if the recipe changed). Also the quality of the beer I had on draft varied fairly significantly, but overall, I can say this is my second favorite Japanese mainstream beer now. At its peak condition this shows great toasted malt and cereal character with a rich malty backbone. I will rate for what I think my overall experience was with the beer, but at its best its a good 3.4/3.5 range

A golden beer with a huge white head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and citrus fruits, leading to bitter finish.

500ml can into shaker. Can says ’Orion Draft Beer’. Distant hop nose. Clear golden amber beer with fluffy white head. Medium carbonation. Clean mineral taste and feel. Finish has a slight tang, a touch of metal then a finishing wave of sweet malt. Not bad, easy drinking and a little different to other Asian lagers.

Can in Hongkong. Pale metallic beginning. Not too deep, grainy-fresh, metallic without deepness. Boring grainy beer with a harsh bitterness.
