Can. Orange with a good cm of white head. Slightly tired honeyish doughy bread, citrus, some spices. So it tastes. Rather crude bitterness. Rustic and just OK.

Can. Thought it was a Wit from the name. Citrus and wheat nose. Not over the top with the additives, nicely malty, smells more like their wheat lager than a Witbier. Just a hint of lemon grass. Clear gold with a low head. Looks like regular Yebisu. More lemon and herbs in the flavor, nice wheat malt, spicy hop finish. Not at all a Wit. Not sure but seems like a lager fermentation. Not particularly striking, but highly drinkable.

Can from 7-11. Deep amber to brown. Malty nose, some chocolate and bread, light caramel. Flavor is rich, bready malt. Chocolate notes. Creamy, orange notes and herbal hops. Mild but nicely drinkable and decent malt character.

Can from 7-11. Hope it's better than Grand Hop. Bright gold, clear, tall fine head. Fruity, flowery dry hopped nose, crisp bready malt. Crisp and hoppy, herbal, slightly pissy, lots of citrus. Very interesting hop character--new types of Noble hops, I think. Silky body. A bit too much. Medium bitterness. Not great, but all right.

Can from 7-11. Pale gold with a huge head. Biscuity malt nose, light lemony, herbal, flowery hops. Flavor is apple, sweet biscuits, honey, sweet then dry then bitter. A bit of a mess, as Maekchu said. Nose is ok but flavor is horrible. Thin, bitter, all over the place.

Can from Yamaya. Bready malt nose, light biscuits and honey, just a touch doughy, with citrus, floral hops, quite noble in character. Subtle but nice enough. Deep, clear gold with a medium head. Hops come off more lemony in the flavor, and the malt character a bit sweeter and doughier. Biscuits. Medium body. Not bad, but not really special either. slightly too sweet. Finishes with light to medium bitterness.

Can from Family Mart. Orange-amber, clear, with a thick, high head. Rich, sweet, doughy nose, biscuit, toast, light caramel. Herbal hops . Lightly sweet, rich malt, but rather complex. Spicy, earthy hops with medium bitterness. Reminds me of a Franconian festbier. Not bad at all. Might be stocking up on this and the last one.
