Can. Hazy pastel yellow. Juicy nose, orange grapefruit, light coconut, pineapple. Sweet and juicy tropical fruit flavor. Not particularly heavy. Quite drinkable and probably the best value haze in Japan.

14/6/2025. Can from Yutaka Shop Online. Pours clear golden with a green tint and a small frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, banana, wheaty, herbal, coriander, vanilla, bready edge. Fairly sweet, mild bitterness. Moderate body, average to soft carbonation. Actually quite nice.
