Mmmm love Japanese rice lagers and definitely love this one, nice pillowy soft notes and some lemony hints on the crisp finish.

16oz can from Tavour. Opens with a gush. Black sticky pour, huge brown head eventually fades. Aroma is fake banana, peanut butter. Chocolate and coconut comes through in the taste, peanut butter too, but the cloying banana is a detriment to this. Overpowering. We'll see if gets better as it sits.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Hazy pale gold color. Large, frothy white head. Subtle biscuity malt aroma hints at spicy hops. Bready malt flavor has zesty notes of citrus and pine. Spruce flavoring is subdued, yet present. 8% ABV is secondary to this well balanced brew. Tasty.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Medium gold pour. Large frothy white head. Clinging lace. Grainy malt aroma hints at sweet bread and hay. Flavor is sweet malt, herbal hops and a touch of minerality. Clean and crisp with a big accent on the malt.

16 oz can from Heavy Reel delivery, 3/24/22. Unclear pinkish color, foamy head. Fairly sweet, lemonade flavor. Not all that beer-like, but it's tasty.

16 ounce can. Cloudy orange gold pour. Creamy, dense beige head leaves uniform lacing. Dank citrus hop aroma. Sweet bready malt backbone. Soft tropical citrus flavors abound. Passion fruit, tangerine and papaya come forward. A bit of sticky pine on the backend offers some balance. That wonderful lacing endures right through to the last sip. Nicely done.

16 oz can from Heavy Reel, 3/11/22. Caramel-amber color with a beige head and fairly strong lace. Biscuit, dough, and earth. Some peppery spice and black tea coming through as well. Herbal, and a touch of tobacco on the finish. Pretty good feel. Nice overall.

16 oz can from Heavy Reel, 3/11/22. Pours a full on green, basically like a glass of Ghostbuster's slime. Well damn. I guess I should have saved this for St. Patty's. As for the beer itself, man I struggle to call these things beer, it's basically a tropical juice and coconut smoothie. It's tasty though, and it just drink as sticky sweet you might expect. I never know how to rate these.
