12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear pale golden with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Sweet grainy aroma with strong corn notes. Bitter grassy taste with strong rice notes as well as corn and grain. Thin bodied.

0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured pale golden body with medium sized head. Some Asian malt and grassy hops in aroma. Flavor wasn’t really bitter, it was smooth, malty and not so typical Asian for me, as I didn’t felt any rice, just hay, honey malt. Pretty thin bodied. Aftertaste shows some hops then, metallic a bit as well. Not bad and very drinkable beer, but a bit boring.

0.33l bottle courtesy of some friends who brought it from Rome (huge thanks!), says it’s brewed in Tokyo. Ok then. Hm, poured a pale golden body with medium sized head that went away fast. Sweaty nose with notes of alcohol, rice... slightly sweetish mess all in all. The taste is quite soft and sweetish, some bready corn, rice is also evident. Some light bite, trace herbal hopiness. Yay. A typical Asian lager, as others have said, unremarkable.

Can Medium to dark gold with a medium head. Rather dull malt aroma with cardboard and a bit of hops. Sweet, malty flavor, without depth, though. Ok hopping, but nothing special. Certainly better malt than Super Dry, and an ok finish. OK. Nicely smooth palate. Better than most in this league

Can: Poured a light bright golden color lager with a large bubbly head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with minimal adjunct being noticeable. Taste is also dominated by light sweet malt with a bland finish. Not the worst pale lager out there and with well hidden adjunct it is still quaffable with my sushi.

Can. Dark gold color, large but quickly fading head. Hoppy aroma, though Sazz and not Cascade. Rich, biscuity malts as well. Reasonably aromatic. A touch of honey. Slightly fruity as well. Very fruity flavor with hops aromas but not much bitterness. Citrus, honey. Quite sweet indeed. Some cardboard. Finish is relatively bitter, though not at all clean or crisp, and somewhat unpleasant. Starts out promising with the hop aromas, but kind of lackluster in the mouth. Good idea, but an unbalanced one-off, it seems.

Bottle @ Italy. Pours clear golden with a small white head and lacings. Clean and mild. Nose of hay, buiscuit and hops. A bit sweet and watery. Dry with a fairly smooth mouthfeel and crispyness. OK
