Oct 10, 2007 Dinking canned Japanese Macro while watching "America’s Got Talent", I’ve reached a new low. I’m not sure how I’ve missed this one, I hauled a can back to the states for Beerguy101 and MWSF to try so now I guess it is my turn.
A medium to deep golden color, foamy eggshell white head. A sweet, slight fruit scent with a bit of cotton candy thrown in. Sweet flavor, flower nectar with a hint of cardamom. A short sweet follow. Certainly a step above the average macroswill most convenience stores offer but still not on par with most Japanese micros.

Sep 18, 2007 Can: Gold color, nose of light toast and hop resin, bright husk and alcohol. A chewy malt whiff that fades into a watery tail that has a touch of hop bitterness. Fair to mediocre, depends on your moment. Drank this in the Shinjuku station waiting for the Romance Car train. Woo!

Aug 20, 2007 This Premium lager pours a deep orange gold color from a 12oz can. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and sweet, touch of pears and peaches. A medium bodied lager. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. It’s a lager, but it has some flavor and body to it. Not your standard lager. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Apr 30, 2007 Pours a light copper color with slightly off-white head. Very nice aroma - pears, green apples. Flavor is fruity, slightly sweet, bitter, vinious and buttery. Very full bodied for a lager. A little bit too fizzy though. Very good for this style.

Apr 11, 2007 Small white head. Deepish yellow body with some carbonation. Light acidic apple aroma with grassy notes. Acidic chalky apple-like taste with grainy notes. Dry straw aftertaste. Somewhat watery. Its OK, but Im not fond of this lager style. (0.35l can.)

Feb 15, 2007 Poures a crystal clear gold with a medium white head. Aroma is malt, sweet fruitines, a bit sour, and the smallest hint of hops. Body is watery and thin. Flavor is just another mass produced lager. Malt, and a bit sweet. Thats about it. I’d take this over there regular swill, but its nothing to get excited about.

Feb 13, 2007 Monstrous white frothy head. Clear golden color. No trace of adjuncts in the aroma. Overall a pretty nice sweet maltiness, with a slight hint of hops, and a very slight fruitness. The flavors were not as "nice", however. Pretty bland maltiness with a slight touch of hops. Thin and watery. A decent choice in terms of Japanese macros, but overall nothing too special.
