Sapporo Premium Draft

Brewed by Sapporo Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Tokyo, Japan

A light golden lager with a thick lacing egg white head. A rather grassy hops aroma with wild herbs and light nail polish. In mouth,a light biscuitty malt with smooth hopping, lighter nbodied, a bit of cardboard. 500 ml can from Japan, shared with probstk, thanks Karl.

Pours a pale yellow with a quickly disappearing white head. Taste is of corn and slightly overripe veggies. Something is rotten in the state of Japan.

Poured yellow with a hint of orange, and a very white and thin head. Didn’t look of much carbonation, but tasted like a lot. Flavor was thin and crisp. Would have been better if it was hot outside. Taste was mild to bland, but I think of most lagers that way.

Bottle. Light malt note of hay, herbs for the hops, and hints of pepper and vegetable. Head is frothy, white with fair lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is sparkling clear light yellow/amber. Flavor starts lightly to moderately acidic and finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light, watery with a soft to lively carbonation and has a dry finish. Light, but a pretty good drinking Pale Lager with no bad attributes.

Sapporo is a pale yellow colored lager. It is very similar to most other Japanese macro-brew lagers and American macros. That is not a compliment. The only good thing is that the beer goes OK with sushi. It does not offer much flavor therefore it does not overpower the taste buds.

bottle. Pours a clear, pale yellow with a thin white head. Nose is of grain - corn I believe. Taste is blah, yucky lager of corn. Mouthfeel is thin, dry and carbonated. Somehow I finished this. Just because I hate to pour out beer.

Yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma is grain and toasted malt. Flavor is much the same. Some sweet malt and grain with the slightest hoppy profile. Palate is medium, and decent for the style. Not outstanding, but beats most American Macro swill.

22oz can that resembles some sort of military ammunition. Pours a crystal clear, pale yellow body with a fizzy, finger-width, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lace. Aroma is sweeter, pale, grainy, corn malts with a touch of fruit and very lager-like. Flavor is pale, semi-sweet malts, grainy, light floral hop bitterness, and a somewhat sour corn. Finishes quick, dry, and leaves a semi-sweet, pale malty aftertaste. Palate is thin, but smooth and crisp. Overall, a boring pale lager, but more taste than a typical BMC release. Quaffable in bulk.
