| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 8, 2007 Light golden with a decent head. The aroma is slightly hoppy and the flavour is thin with a few notes of hop and flower. The Finish has an OK bitterness. stubby (326), Santee, California, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Feb 5, 2007 Completely boring and unremarkable. Right in style with many American macro brews, with a little more flavor. Can only be described as a quencher. Decent with food. joefflin (66), USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Feb 4, 2007 nothing offensive.my first japanese brew. but their take on the pale lager isnt any better than most. a little watered down, not memorable. an easy pass.

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Feb 4, 2007 Had as the third beer on a night of Japanese beers. None of them really stood out and this was the same. Yellow color, has a light water taste to it. Nothing to get excited about. doubelknv3 (568), Illinois, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 1, 2007 Updated: Jun 27, 2009I have done the Japanese big 4 taste test many of nights....sapporo vs. kirin vs. asahi vs. suntory.... Everytime sapporo for me has come on top. I did enjoy the kirin brewery tour better, but it must be something with Hokkaido that brings this one to the top of my nihon no biru "big 4" list. Has a mild grainy taste that is good with tempura or udon. Sweet malt aroma. Golden with frothy white head. Sweet malt with balancing bitterness. OleR (2104), Oslo, Norway
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 1, 2007 Bottle. Pours clear golden with a proper white head. Sweetish mild malts and grain to the nose. Malty and grainy flavors as well, with a fruity sweetness. Noteable hops in the background. Slight dry finish. chrisok (77), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 24, 2007 22 oz can. Pours pale straw color with a thin, fairly long lasting head. Very crisp taste with very little hop flavor. This is an easy drinking beer, with no real offensive taste.
For my money, I prefer the Sapporo Reserve to this. RollinHard (761), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 24, 2007 Bottled, despite what the name of the beer tells me. Pours the expected clear straw color, but maybe a bit more saturated than with the BMC variety. Aroma is less skunky than expected. taste is very light, and semi-sweet with corn flavors. Finishes "crisp", giving a slight acknowledgement to hops. This was okay.
