Can from Yamaya. They certainly have a long list of these Lucky beers. Clear, deep golden with a tall, fine head. Somewhat meaty malt nose--claims to be an umami pale ale and that does come through a bit in the aroma. Rather muted citrus hops with a bit of piny resin too. Flavor is more resinous, medium malt sweetness, orange and grapefruit notes, very bitter finish. Medium body. It has rice in it and I suppose that lightens it a bit. Not bad, but a little too bitter and it's pretty unoriginal, like most of the rest in this series.

Bottle. Pours bright food coloring green. Grapefruit, tropical fruit, herbal, generic fruit, grain. Medium body. Fine.

Bottle from a Japanese market. Pours shocking dark green with a large foamy light green head, citrus-matcha aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter matcha taste with citrus flavor, thin smooth body, long finish. Very interesting beer.

Pours gold with heaps of chunks of floating stuff.Nose shows wheat, yuzu, candied lemon, and soft doughy notes.Flavours include more wheat and soft yuzu along with a faint grainy note. Very delicate.

(bottle) as Kyoto Kuromame Ale from 99 Ranch Supermarket: clear, orange amber colour with a medium tall white head; aroma of smoke; toasted rice; balanced flavour with a long, light bitter finish

One cup, canned Oct 2021, drunk 8/5/22.
Clear.
Hmmm....very first note is rubbing alcohol. So not a great start. Softens with some rice sweetness in to more of a glue-like character. Yeah, this just does not smell good.
Soft, super light, thinned out by alcohol. Drying alcohol as well. Some coconut, not getting much in the way of citrus. Sort of grows on me as it breathes, but this is pretty frickin thin/watery/boozy. And pretty minimal on the interesting/complex notes.

One cup can drunk 7/4/22.
Fruity, somewhat muted though, with light earth and soft mineral and a touch of roughness (alcohol, rice hull).
Soft, somewhat watery, again muted with cooked rice, alcohol and some borderline glue-like character. Obvious added alcohol here and it's not complex or interesting at all.

Bottle at Hachidori. Pours a hazy golden with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is strong earthy malt and citrus. Medium body, sweet malt, earth, light finish, decent.
