From a bottle. Clear golden color with white head. Smells of light grain. Light body. Tastes of light grain with a peppery hop finish. Crisp, straightforward beer. Good with food.

One of the most crystal-clear pure gold pours you're going to see. Nice foamy white head that sticks around. Reminiscent of one of those pre-mass brewing American pilsners. Strong grainy malt presence brings most of the flavor in a fairly straightforward, low complexity profile. Great beer for a multiple beer night, but not quite to sip and savor level.

Can on a flight to Tokyo.
Pours with a clear amber body that is topped with a tall, creamy looking white head.
European hops dominate the aroma and the reasonably bold [for style] flavor.
Feel: Medium body with high carbonation.

Pours golden yellow with light white head. Typical Japanese / Asian lager that is easy drinking, smooth, mellow, and low alcohol and little taste. Drink extremely cold, pairs well with sushi. (My father-in-Law’s GoTo lager).
