500 ml can from Family Mart. Rich malt nose, herbal noble hops. Very pretty deep golden orange-amber with a low, thick head. Clear. Warm, sweet malt, touch of toast, tiny bit of caramel, stark bitterness, some herbal, grassy hops. Bit of booze bite in the finish, along with hop bitterness. Nice malt, but a little too strong. Quite creamy. My wife said she thought it tasted like a maerzen and I tend to agree. More like the newer Oktoberfest types, although they hide their alcohol better than this does. An interesting beer and pretty well done for a major brewer. Not perfect but I will drink a few.
