Pours a pale yellow/orange with a half inch white head. The aroma is fairly skunky, with sweetness in the back ground. The taste is bright and hoppy. Musty oily hops and sweet biscuity malt. Nice bitterness. The mouth feel is quite nice. Much better than what I was expecting from Sapporo. KyotoLefty (1454), Kyoto, Japan
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 17, 2008 Draught at the brewpub in Sapporo.
Unfiltered version. Appealing fruity and hoppy aroma. Fruitier and heartier than the filtered version. Smoother, mellower as well, with much more fruit flavor. A bit sweet, but not too much. Much better than the filtered. Medium to fuller body and full flavor. Not exceptional, but decent.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 18, 2007 Bottle: Clear gold, nose of bright pilsner malt and green sweet malts. The flavor is slightly bitter, a decent balanced lager, but still a zesty thin bodied, biscuity light beer. Called a pilsner, but it’s basically a pale lager.
