Classic Japanese pale lager. Light grassy and grainy aromas. Active carbonation, tastes of cardboard and grain. Light body and watery mouthfeel. Dry finish. True to style, but unfinishable for me at this point. --- Beer merged from original tick of Premium Draft on 01 Jan 2016 at 17:17 - Score: 3

Bottle. Clear light golden body. Fizzy white head, diminishing. Light aroma of raw grain, herbs, hint of vegetables. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Light grassy taste mixed in with vegetable and light sulfur. A inoffensive pale lager with little character.

11.3 FL oz. bottled at One Flew South, in the Atlanta airport. The pour is clear golden with not much white head. The aroma is cereal grain malt along with a bit of sweet floral. The taste is the clean malt cereal grain along with a nice soft sweet floral. Decent integration of the flavors. The palate is light to medium bodied with active carbonation and a clean simple dry finish. Simple straightforward and clean beer, worked well with sushi.

Can from a Lawson’s on Kokusai dori in Naha. Wow, what a contrast to regular Orion! Medium golden color. Nice, bold Saaz-like noble hop aroma, lemony, grassy. Hoppy, lemony flavor, crisp and tasty with bready malts. Tasty malts, light but not thin. A damn good major lager.

Tap in Naha. Almost no nose to speak of. Light grain and a tiny bit of citrus. Pale golden color. Light, thin, and watery flavor. Almost no flavor either. Not bad, just almost tastes like water. Bit of malt and grain and a tiny bit of bitterness.

"w zapachu słody, lekkie zioła, trawa i kanał. kolor złoty, piana brzydka i bardzo szybko znika. w smaku puste, wodniste, z lekką i niezbyt przyjemną goryczką. trochę posmaku witaminy c. średnie nasycenie. lekki posmak pestek z jabłka. jedno z tych piw które są pijalne tylko zimne.
