Can, bb 12/25 (Maita). Clear amber with a 3/2cm dense white head. 6+ Breadcrust aroma with floral and peppery hops. Clean but briefly rich with breadcrust before firm bitterness that's fairly herbal. Not tentative at all. Good.

Can from the supermarket. Close to ¥300, but this series usually is quite good. Bright, deep golden color with a tall, thick, foamy head. This looks nice. Rich bready malt in the Czech style, grainy biscuits. Herbal hops. Sweet, rich malt flavor, again very Czech in style, probably Saaz hops mostly, very herbal, light spice and citrus. Finish is bitter without being too bitter. Body is rich and full. Wow. One of the best Suntory has ever made, I would say. They really nailed this.
