Aug 20, 2007 This lager pours a light orange gold color from a 12 oz can. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is cereal, sweet and a touch of grass. A light to medium bodied lager. Malts are cereal and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. It’s a touch thin, and a little sweet. It’s a pale lager, but its way better than most premium lagers. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Thanks to Dan for hauling this stuff all the way across the Pacific.

Sep 6, 2009 Can from KyotoLefty. Golden pour and white head. Like an American pale lager. Bland and corn-flavored.

Jun 4, 2009 2009 Version. I think it is the same recipe.
Nice, light amber color, orange tints. Looks good. Thick, foamy head. Aroma is basic Yebisu but with a bit more caramel and something slightly smoother. Palate also nicely smooth. Flavor has a bit of caramel sweetness, some depth. strong hop bitterness in the finish. Decent enough stuff, though not all that special.

Aug 31, 2009 Can at the RB Rochester Gathering, Sept. 09. Thanks, KyotoLefty! A nice offering to kick off our gathering. Very dry, a bit fruity, a bit metallic (I wrote that it was a can, but I am half picturing a bottle, so confused). Not bad, not great.

Apr 26, 2005 A deep Golden, nearly Orange colored brew with a creamy head. A semi-sweet malty nose with grass and a touch of floral hopping. Wow, surprisingly tasty with a hoppy taste up front, mild sweet candy in the middle and a bitter follow. This is going to be a good summer with this and the Asahi "Goku" comming out new, the Japanese macros are getting the point, make better beer!
