350ml can from a department store in Fukuoka. Reddish brown, very moderate hop aroma/flavor. Instead the well known red caramel flavor carries it. Bit of a strange mixed aftertaste, almost nutty and almost fruity but neither of them comes through clearly. Pretty tasty overall.

Clear copper with little brown head. Aroma is lots of tropic fruit and grass and some malty bread. Taste is fresh citrussy sourness with some hoppy bitterness. A little dust in the finish but more of the aroma hops. Still good.
