16oz can, pink version for the 2020 Olympics I think. Pours a clear gold with some white, sticky head. Nose is a bit trashy, vegetal, straw. Flavor has malt, stale grist, grass. Finishes trashy. Bad beer finally!

Can sample at a tasting at troubles' place. Thanks Odi. Clear golden. Graininess, a bit vegetal, sweetish, bitter finish, a bit metallic, light-bodied.

0,33 l bottle at Takenoko Bar, Zagreb. Clear golden, minimal head. Fake grainy aroma, candy like green apple flavour. High carbonation, bland grainy flavour. Dry, boring, light and kind of refreshing.

Can from the conbini. Pale orange, clear, low bubbly head. Not much of a nose, minerals, light citrus, not much malt. Bubbly sweet citrus flavor with a bit of toasty grains and a touch of caramel. Also a bit of apple. Thin, spritzy, watery. Bitter, minerally finish. Not much to recommend it.

Can. Why do I bother? Well, for research sake. Light, toasty, slightly bready nutty amber malt nose, a touch of caramel. Nose is thin and slightly tinny. Medium amber-orange, clear. Rather lame lacy head. Fruity, orange and apple, some caramel and toast. Light sweetness, prickly hop finish. Taste is inoffensive, better than the weak nose. Body is light and a bit watery. Not good but I could drink it if I had to. No real lager character, as expected.

Yesterday I did some konbini drinking and this crafty happoshu while cheap at 160¥ or so was not very good with a rough flavor and just slight sweet caramel malt. Nothing really amber or lager like to it. Not worth trying.

Not much beer in here. Btw, I’m so glad I won’t be in Japan for the olympics. It’s gonna be hell.

500ml can from TBS in Moscow. Can says 50% less sugar. Hurrah! Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Aroma is malt (very light), cardboard and rice. Taste is sugar, paper, low maltyness. Body is ultra-light. It gives the impression of an almost beer flavoured mineral water.
