Cola-like acidity mixed with modest notes of chocolate and caramel, with a touch of lemon and a faint floral bitterness on the back end. More complex than regular Sapporo but not better.

Keg at the Vagabond, Whitehaven. Pale gold with a thin white head. Lower carbonation than is usual for international macro lagers results in a nice soft mouthfeel. There's a hint of grass in the flavour, otherwise it's just light, sweetish malts. Very easy drinking and inoffensive, but instantly forgettable.

Can. Pale pastel yellow, hazy. Rather faint nose, orange, wheat, coriander. Flavor is creamy wheat, citrus, biscuits, coriander seed. Rather strong, somewhat dirty bitterness in the finish. Unmemorable.

Drunk in NYC from a can purchased in a Japanese supermarket. Brings back memories from Richmond and Cary Street Wine, where I believe I often got this beer around 25y ago. Yep there's that malty, light-molasses black flavor that is full but dry, balanced with pretty smooth earthy-forest-smelling hops. Not super complex but sufficient, quality flavor and refreshing bitterness. Drink cold!

Can. Nose is white grapes, orange, lemon, biscuity malt. Sweet and fruity flavor, white wine, citrus, nice hops. Good flavor but a bit too sweet. Almost cloying.

Hi ho hi ho I’m rating sap-por-o. I like it the best of the "big 3" Japanese mass market beers here in the US.

Can. Light citrus hops and rich malt and grain on the nose, biscuits and bread. Sweet malt biscuit and corn flavor, a bit of herbal and citrus hops. Somewhat heavy, sweet, and strong. Probably don't need another.
