Can. I buy this at the convenient store, thinking, "Yeah, that’s one I haven’t rated for some reason." Then I start worrying that I have and if so I don’t want it. Well I haven’t. Drank it several times I suppose over the years, but not in a few. Let’s see how it goes. Malty nose with cereals and pretty nice hops--grass and citrus too. Nothing special, but ok start. Look ok, deep gold with a medium, fine head. Flavor is grainy and the adjuncts start kicking in, but there is rich malt flavor and still decent hops. A touch of lemon, decent bitterness. This is said to be hoppier and bitterer than the regular Kirin Lager, and it is. Definitely better. Actually, it might be the best of the adjunct beers made by the big 4 in Japan. Actually quite drinkable--something I would choose out of the cooler, though probably will never need to buy again.

Obefintlig smak och doft, vattning och tunn. Men antar att det finns en del humle och malt i denna öl.
