Bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has light straw and a bit of hay but overall thin. Flavor is also quite light with a combination of straw and light hay.

0.33 l bottle from 'Craftbeershop.com', brewed in Bavaria, best before July 2023. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly malty aroma of grains and some straw with a touch of corn flakes. Moderately sweet, rather dry, a little malty and minimally grassy taste of grains, corn flakes and some straw, followed by a short, slightly bitter, quite dry and watery finish. Thin body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Average classic NA beer, fairly bland.

330ml can. Clear, yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Floral, minimally fruity, hoppy and minimally grainy, pale malty aroma, a touch of green apple. Taste is slightly spicy, minimally grainy, pale malty, mildly bitter, floral and minimally fruity hoppy, a touch of green apple, subtle residual sweetness. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth, soft and silky palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Simple, balanced, very quaffable - not bad.

Draft pour pint at 12 Moons, Snoqualmie. Paired with Tiger Rolls. Clean and clear golden appearance. High carb initial bite. Paper grains muted, with a crisp finish. Soft straw background. Watered down, extra carbed, super light lager. Would put out the fire nicely on any of the 5 star dishes here.

Cerveza "De Japon" elaborada y embotellada en Alemania, anodina e insípida, pasa por la boca sin decir ni expresar prácticamente nada, sensación efímera, después de acabarte la copa ya ni te acuerdas de ella. No te quita ni la sed. Para mi es floja de cojones
