22 oz can. Poured watery yellow with thin white head. Corn to sweet malt aroma with a hint of hop spice. The taste started out bad. The thin watery mouth feel and adjunct taste brought forth an un-mistakable macro swill sensation. But then just beyond midway a noble hoppiness surfaces to save this beer from utter disaster.

12 oz bottle. Aromas are grainy and have a little bit of a fruit/sweet note to them. Pour is pretty boring. Gold color with a lot of bubbles and a head that dies down fairly quickly. Flavor is great for a run of the mill lager. Very crisp and clean. A bit of a grassy hops flavoring in the finish.

Small white head; copper body with a little bit of carbonation. Clean, slightly acidic aroma with notes of apple. Taste is light and clean, mostly caramel and marzipan with apple notes and a touch of grass. Slightly dry grassy and faintly metallic aftertaste. Light and refreshing to drink. A perfectly decent lager. (0.33l bottle.)

Tap. Watery and yeasty, and a surprising amount of alcohol taste. I was surprised to see its only 5%.

This is the first Japanese beer that I have ever had, so it tastes a little different from other beers that I have had. A nice taste on the palate, with a pale body. I actually really like the taste, so even though, this isn’t the really best beer you can get, I would have no problem drinking it again (in fact I might right now).

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is hops, malts and either rice or maize (maybe both?). Flavour os rice, hops and slight maltyness. Not exciting at all, and quite typical Asian "pale" beer.

Bottled, Leen restaurant, Utrecht. Clear yellow color, short head. Aroma of faint hop, bit corn, but better than Asahi super draft. Quite bitter taste.

Light bodied and crisp in flavor. Not much happening here other than the typical lager sweetness and trace amount of hops. Better than average, but not worth seeking out.

Gold colored body, a small white head, grainy corny nose, mild with a bit of hops on the tongue. Not as good as the Saporro Reserve.
