33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Sun Wah Supermarket in Antwerp. BBF 20/02/2014. Clear lighter golden with little head. Sweetish pale lager nose, plastic apples & plastic white grains covered in pale lager grains, sweeteners sweet,… Taste is plastic, grains, sweetish, soggy cornflakes & grains, slight mineral & cardboard,… Oily, slightly watery… Another pale lager, touch more drinkable than usual but still far from staggering, less good than I actual remember the regular being but that was many years ago. Earlier Rating: 3/15/2011 Total Score: 3bottle@home: clearly chemical and very one-flavoured but never the less good for a macro lager, very refreshing & drinkable

Bottle from 7-11. Lovely hop aroma, citrus, grass, oregano. Bravo, I read. Shockingly nice for a Kirin! Pale gold with a fine, low head. Fruity, lemon flavor, somewhat sweet, nice bitter finish. I like this. Quite ale-like, for sure. Great stuff which I will drink daily at this price until it’s gone. No major beer in Japan has every been hopped like this. Finish is a bit strange, but still good stuff.

Backlog, canned in 2008. Very light beer, light bodied, more like a Schwarz than a stout. Seems bottom fermented to me as well. Not a bad beer though.

Rerate from tap at the new Takumi, presumably still brewed at Weihenstephan?
Fairly solid lager actually, some sweet grains in the nose, mostle clean, chewy, well balanced though.
Old rating 6 6 5 4 5.5 Wells & Youngs bottle. Hazy yellow, white lace. Fresh grassy, light yeasty orangepeel nose. Relatively light body, mealy malt body which leaves a hole in the center, pleasant fruity notes, very quick grassy finish. Slightly salty aftertaste.

Duft av malt. Lite tynt skumlag. Fin lys gyllen farge. Friskt og lettdrukket std øl.
Earlier Rating: 5/31/2013 Total Score: 2.5
Godt leskende øl. Standard øl. ikke noe mer spannede enn at det er et japansk øl og er lett drukket og godt i sommervarmen.

Crystal clear straw color, with a film of a white head. The taste is sweeter than most lagers, yet there is still a hop character. A little bit of citrus, a little spice. Mouthfeel is what to expect. Clean crisp. Some carbonation is felt going down. Slight dry finish. Okay at best. Fruitiness is a little much for this style.
