3.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 2 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 2.5
Refrigerated bottle. Taste is corn, some alcohol (the ABV on this one should have been easy to hide behind some taste) and a hint of metallic. This is not very good beer.

Pretty bland pale lager. I had sworn off entering any more of these clone lagers but fell off the wagon here because there is a hint of hops in the background of this one. Mostly light grains but at the very end is some grassy hops. Decent, actually.

Can (Thanks FatPhil) - Golden with a white head. Grainy, grassy and malty aroma with hints of corn and lime. Grassy and malty taste, with a faint bitterness. Quite refreshing, but rather bland.

350 ml can. The first fresh hop Kirin since they went all-malt. Medium gold with a medium head. Good noble hop aroma, fragrant. Good, rich malt flavor with lots of aromatic hops. Very nice, full-flavored and rich. Great citrus hops. An impressively hoppy beer for a major. Definitely one of the best they’ve made, though it could use a bit more bitterness in the finish.
