Can shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is cloudy dark yellow with finger-width off-white head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong musky herbal. Taste is strong musky herb, light fruit. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, strong but nondescript.

Can. Pours Clear pale yellow straw medium Whitehead dissipates fairly quickly but with nice residual and decent lacing. Aroma has grass and a greeniness of greeniness some grassy hops pops and rice. Flavor has just a hint of sweetness it's actually fairly dry honestly light bitter crisp clean refreshing no aftertaste maybe a touch of lemons and some rice and grass. Light body soft carbonation this is actually quite pleasant and it will be very enjoyable to pound on a hot day

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 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.
