Pale yellow with small white head. Some bitterness, watery finish. A boring, uninspiring lager.

Draft at P.F. Changs - Waterfront. Pours a clear yellow, not much to the small white head. Aroma is very faint malt. flavor is a very water downed malt and corn.

Bottle, 33cl. Japanese. Pours clear golden, with quickly dissipating head. Nothing to much on the nose, faint hops. Quite weak on the palate, and sweeter on the plate. Unremarkable overall.
