Sapporo Yebisu

Brewed by Sapporo Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Tokyo, Japan

Yebisu Premium All Malt Traditional Lager Beer. 50 cl. can. Nice golden colour with a big average lasting head. Aroma of malts and hops. Fresh flavour of slightly toasted malts, little hoppiness, touch of sweetness and little bitter-sweet aftertaste. A pretty good brew, one of the very best "lighter" brews from Sapporo.

Maybe a touch above the Kirin, Sapporo, and Asahi macros I’ve been drinking here in Japan, but not by much. Lots of rice and phony malts underneat a beer that finished with a decent hop profile. However, this beer was originally served at something like 40F, so it clearly was in stealth mode, trying to avoid flavor detection. As it warmed, it just turned more and more adjunct-laden tasting. Appearance was originally golden with a nice white head, very decent lacing for a macro pale lager. An ok beer, definitely decent for a pale lager style, but just not worth my liver.

A bit better than your average macrobrew...but only a bit...very light, although reasonably enjoyable taste

Aroma: bland dusty lagery notes with a bit of malt. Apperance: yellow with a fluffy white head. Flavour: some malt, hop notes and a touch melony. Palate: ok mouthfeel but still thin.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is hops, malts and either rice or maize (maybe both?). Flavour os rice, hops and slight maltyness. Not exciting at all, and quite typical Asian "pale" beer.

Aroma of lager malts and grassy hops. Taste has grassy herbal hops, lager malts with a touch of honey, a bit of bitterness in the finish.

yep yebisu is brewed by sapporo. shit! its like a tricky bud thing here. this one i had on the plane and didnt care for too much. pungent off metalic flavors swirled with a sweet alcohol taste at only 5? strange.

Golden, quite nice white head. Bready aroma and a bit fruity. Hoppy, grassy, metallic flavor. Quite a standard lager.
