Oct 23, 2009 I finally had this beer and was actually pleasantly surprised. Clear golden color with foamy white head. Somewhat sweet smell; smells like beer, way better than macro-US lager. Taste is pretty good. A modicum of hops. Nice dry mouthfeel. A little bit of sweetness in there as well. Better than I thought it was going to be.

Oct 22, 2009 Serving: 330 ml bottle.
Appearance: Clear gold color with a foamy, white head. Lesser head retention.
Aroma: A little grain and sweet malt notes. Relatively light.
Flavor: Sweet malt and cereal notes at first with a slight floral hop bitterness. Simple, but I don’t see any flaws in it.
Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a light, dry mouthfeel and a short finish.
Overall: I actually think this beer is pretty solid. With a style that shows even the most minor of flaws, I had a hard time finding any and it was pretty refreshing.

Oct 21, 2009 33cl bottle poured into a lager glass. Sparkling gold to copper color with two fingers rapidly dissipating off-white head. Aroma is faint sweet malt. Flavor is mostly sweet malt with some hops in the background. Finish is slightly bitter. Boring beer.

Oct 17, 2009 Served from bottle. Golden yellow with a sweet aroma. Not much head. Not a reason for moving to Asia...

Oct 14, 2009 Pours a pale yellow. Thin body, weak hops and grain flavour. Extremely overrated generic pale lager.

Oct 11, 2009 Cans at my aunt and uncle’s place in Tokyo.
Gotta say, after a long tay of traveling this one goes down well. Maybe not a world class lager, but it sure hits the spot right now and does seem to be missing most of the flaws that might mar such a beer. I’m coming in way above the mean here and I think it’s partly the circumstance but hey, hedonic scale and all that.

Oct 10, 2009 Pours clear pale straw yellow.
Nose of floral hops and grains.
Taste is very thin, as name implies, a very dry body, light cereal grain flavors, light floral bop bitterness, no residual sweetness, back end rinses like water.
