New Release in the can, though unpasteurized. the best hops from any mainstream Japanese brewer. A big surprise. Good saaz aroma and flavor, long-lasting bitter finish. Very nice summer thirst quencher with a lot of character. Malts are simple but sufficient. I hope Sapporo has turned around from "dumbing down" to "hopping up."

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a pale straw color with a small white head that faded quickly. The aroma was faintly dry. The flavor was dryish, grainy, lightly tangy and corny. The finish was very short. Inoffensive but nothing substantive to it.

Pours with a largish, foamy, off-white head covering a deep yellow body. Aroma is a bit of wheat and maybe a little corn, with a fruity note at the end. Ultra thin mouthfeel. A little bit spicy and metallicy. There is also an odd apple taste to the beer. Interesting Japanese lager.

Bottle from Berkeley Bowl. Light, malty aroma with a touch of hop. Golden color with decent white head that even laces in tatters. Near medium body with moderate carbonation. The flavor is spicey! Must be really good noble type hop. Very impressive. Finish is dry and decently bitter. Quite smooth. Amazingly good.

Can, shared by Gr0ve. A dark brown, almost black beer with a tan head. Mocha, coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Mocha, some fruityness, chocolate and coffee, but not much hoppy bitterness. Not much fruityness or bitterness at all, actually. Still pleasant, indeed. Medium to full, quite dry mouthfeel. Mocha finish. A really pleasant and balanced beer. A bit strange saying it’s balanced, as it’s sure on the dark side, but at least it feels balanced in a way. Cute! (080216)
