2019 version from a Family Mart can. Golden with a better head than usual from a beer like this. A bit of grain along with grassy hops. Not much to add to that. Mediocre but better than many.

Tap @ Wasabi. Édeskés kevés szénsavval, olyan rizses, jól eltalált pale lager.

So this is the 3rd category beer that's supposed to be so good, eh? Let's give it a shot. Usually don't bother with this cheapo style. CAn is ¥135. Ok hop nose, with lemon and orange and some grass. Slightly sugary maltish character. Clear, deep gold with a nice head. Sweet and sugary, grainy, citrus and herbs. Ok finish is snappy and crisp and a bit peppery but just a bit too sweet and a bit syrupy. The cheap grains and candy-like fruit come through too. Not bad for the style, I admit, but not worth any special praise.

Tap. Apples, light tartness. Something not quite there though. Feels a bit thin and fades quickly. Would rather have this than some macro lagers, but that's not exactly a great compliment. Nothing so wrong with it, but not so much right about it.

Can from the local off license. Dark brown with a bit of red in there too. Golden brown thin head. Aroma is roasty with a bit of sweetness. Not a bad smell. Slight element of soy sauce. Taste has the same roastiness and sweetness, but is a bit thin. There is definitely something missing. Definitely too fizzy as well. All in all, not bad, but not great.

Can from the local shop. Very pale yellow colour with small white head that disappears almost immediately. My first venture into Happoshu. Aroma is very slight, bit of citrus in there and not much else. Maybe a vague 'beer' smell. Taste is similar, citrussy lemon, shandy-like, slight sweetness. Very thin bodied and watery and in spite of the carbonation, the overall feeling is something quite flat in the mouth. Not right at all in that respect. It's not really totally unpleasant, just feels like a bit of a waste of time. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kirin Tanrei Green Label on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 2 | Overall - 5.
