Oct 5, 2009 Pours a crystal clear golden yellow. Head falls leaving zero lacing or halo.
Nose is faint of cereal grain and floral hops.
Taste is simple, honey, little bit of sweet malt, and a pleasant finish of lemony sorachi ace hops.

Sep 26, 2009 Appearance: Transparent yellow gold; short-lived white head.
Aroma: Pretty perfumed floral hop, straw, slight honey & malt sweetness, lightly roasted grain.
Flavor: Moderately sweet, honeyed malt, very light hop bittering plus a hint of ripe grapefruit and grapefruit rind.
Palate:
Comment: Can. On the plus side, it delivers some nice hop aromas but that’s about it. A bit better than the average Japanese beer, though not my style. I’d guess this was designed to appeal to young females. I prefer less sweetness/more hop bittering.

Jul 30, 2009 500 ml can from Japan (thanks Pa!), shared with Luc, served cold in a tulip glass. MA26/09.
App.: Clear golden with a nice white froth.
Aroma: Straight-forward malts with some wet hay and grass, slightly citrus hops.
Palate: Medium body and fairly soft carbonation, smooth like a Pils.
Flav.: Light cereal and malt, light Saaz hops – kinda grassy and peppery; dry with some bitterness, nice light malt finish.
A very drinkable lager.

Jun 1, 2009 Canned. Bright golden, airy head. The aroma has mostly a general fruitiness. It’s sweet and fruity with industrial limp mouthfeel and sloppy body. The very slight resiny hops cannot breathe life into this artificial product. Fruit and resin combines in a mushy unpleasant finish.
Lubiere (4463), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
May 30, 2009 A golden lager wth a thick frothy white head. A surprisingly hoppy resinous aroma, with light floating esters, veering in Saison territory. In mouth, a crisp malt with sustained German hops, a bit of sweetness, herbaceous. Medium bodied. 500 mL can shared rom probstk, May 26 2009.

Apr 12, 2009 Decent for what it is, with a slight metallic hop kick. Smooth drinking and almost reminds me of a weizen
