Sapporo Premium Draft

Brewed by Sapporo Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Tokyo, Japan

Found this at the liquor store that I work at and thought I would give it a try. I didn’t have high hopes going into it but boy was I supprised. Very good beer with a light beer flavor. Definately a good alternative to Budweiser has a better flavor. Give this beer a try

Canette de 650 ml. Nos yeux aperçoivent une bière de couleur dorée surmontée d’une mousse fuagce. Notre nez découvre des arômes de maïs, de miel et des notes de houblons floral. Notre palais décrit la bière avec un corps mince. Nos papilles gustatives découvre des saveurs douces de grain et de houblon floral.

Pretty standard fare. I would have to put this along the same lines as a Heineken, but without the signature skunky finish everyone complains about. An easy drink, but I’d like there to be something more going on.

Grassy honey nose, some spice notes. Yellow gold,quickly dissipating medium head. Slight biscuity sweetness, good bitterness. Very fizzy, light to slight medium body, pretty crisp finish. This is a fairly basic, but solid easy drinking beer. Maybe it is all those sushi nights and sake-bombs that make me think so fondly of this beer, but it just seems to have an extra quality over many other similar such Pale Lagers...

Canned. Consumed, as always, with sushi. I don’t even know how to be really critical about this beer because it’s just what I drink at a sushi restaurant. I don’t really question it. Yellow golden pour, typically with minimal head. Rice and slight grain, slightly sweet. Not much yeast, hops, or malt present. A little watery on the palate. Probably wouldn’t ever drink it without spicy Asian food, but always good to keep you hydrating when downing soy sauce and wasabi.

Canned 65cl. It pours a yellow beer with a tall white head. The nose is rather interesting with notes of rice, figs, licorice and elderflower. Not bad at all. Slightly peppery accompanied by a burnt plastic component. Extremely sour taste. Hay accompanied by burnt plastic. Not good. A hint of lime. Watery. Lemonade in the finish. Definately an interesting beer.

330 ml bottle. Pale golden colour. Crystal clear. Small white head that clings to the glass. Delicate light grainy aroma. Crisp carbonation with slightly metallic notes. Very clean. Floral flavours from noble hops and carbonation. Light-bodied. Watery texture. Finishes rather watery and light. Not much to be found in the finish.

355 ml bottle. Clear golden. Throws a tall white head. Sharp hoppy notes indicating this is more like a pilsener. Flavours are more restricted, but has a good malty body. Light-bodied. Mouthfeel has a slight input of malts, but is otherwise rather watery and boring. Finishes rather neutral.

had this one at a local thai restaurant. Poured very light yellow, with thin white head that lasted the whole duration of the brew. The flavor is very rice like, no hop presence whatsoever. Kinda sweet in my opinion and goes well with jungle curry which i had that night. Much better than any American macro, there was a flavor that actually stuck and that i would return to.
