It’s nice and clean. It’s also kind of ordinary. It’s a lil’ bit malt and hop, but faint. It’s light golden and light head. It’s flavor is wheat and malt, and tart. It’s not bitter at all. It’s ok for a dining brew.

A small notch above some of the American Lagers we have (Bud, Miller, Mich.) Light golden colored, not a bad head on it. Tastes like it could be a mix between a Lager and a wheat, as wheat and malts are in there. A touch sweet. Again, not bad, not great. Average? It is somewhat refreshing, I’ll give it that. Didn’t sample this with any Japanese food but I don’t see how it would be any better that way.

650ml can: Golden with small foamy head that almost entirely disappears. Subdues aromas of sweet malt and hops. Tastes only the slightest bit malty with some rice. Papery mouthfeel with a watery finish.

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com) As I recall, this was a typical macrobrewed pilsner. Nothing special.

Pours pee yellow, clear, see through, 2 inch off white empty foam head. Smells like mild barely malt with the obligatory adjuncts corn and rice for pale lagers. Why is pale lager a synoym for crap beer? Taste is slightly peppy. Mouthfeel watery, running, thin. There’s a decent amount of hop bitterness (just enough to know a hop, (or two) went into the multi-hundred barrel vat this stuff was brewed in. Despite my bashing, its more drinkable, than most American Pale lagers. Pay attention, C-level beer wahoos of America. Yup, the Japs beat you at your own game.

Pours a yellow color and smells like skunk. Tastes much like a Budweiser. Not worth it.

Yellow straw color. White decent head. Corn like in the aroma and flavor. Watered down. Some malts and hops but not too much.

Pours a golden piss-yellow. Head is white and foamy. Aroma is generic, yeasty. Flavor is much the same. Japanese Budweiser. Thats obviously not a good thing. Try it if you just want to add it to the list, or happen to be at a Japanese ballpark. Otherwise, go with something else.
