Medium brown with orange and a tall, off-white head. Rich, soft Munich malt aroma with caramel. Again, soft Munich malt flavor, more chocolate, not too sweet, but could actually be a touch richer. A bit watery, with some salt / minerals at the finish. Decent dunkel but not great. Lightness probably reflects the Tropical climate of its origin.

Draught at the Craft Beer Festival in Ichinoseki, Iwate. Fruity, caramel aroma. Fruity, rich malt flavor, with caramel, cherry, and a great balance achieved with a combination of roasting and hopping. Full lager flavor. Great.

Clear golden with a nice foamy head. Aroma is slightly soapy with sweet malts, light and bitterness. Soft bodied. Malty, very light bitterness, and some earth. Another run of the mill lager.
