Miyajima beer, 4.5%, can from Rakuten. It pours a light copper gold with a thin fizzy head which dissipated fast. The aroma is malty caramel with a minor sour wine yeasty/fruity vibe. Medium to light bodied with a slick mouthfeel. The taste is malty, light caramel, a touch of nuttiness, with a tangy finish. Possibly this is an alt? Looking around online I found this can listed as a pilsner though none is listed on ratebeer so I am guessing the can is the kolsch version??? As you can see this beer is a bit of a mess, it is all over the place, and is fairly disappointing. As a kolsch it is too malty, as a pale ale it isn’t all that hoppy but I guess it could be british style pale ale. According to their facebook page they’re now making a pilsner but this doesn’t look like a pilsner either. Not a terrible beer per se but definitely sub-par. It’s solidly in the world of omiyage beers, it is frustrasting they don’t list the style of beer this is on their website or facebook page. It is just listed as their regular as opposed to their pale ale...
