Pours a clear straw yellow, light 1/2" head with good streaky lacing. Nose is pineapple Lifesavers and not much else. Taste pretty much follows as well. One thing that I'd take away is that this isn't overwhelming sweet - it's certainly sugary, but less than what you'd get from a can of soda. It also doesn't have the cloying syrupy sweetness of Budweiser Ritas, though of course this also has a third of the booze. Feel is light and crisp as expected from a light lager. Overall, this would be great if you like the taste of pineapple Lifesavers and don't want to taste anything remotely close to beer.

12 oz can of this lager fruit beer in Yokohama's Chinatown.
Mildly bitter and lightly sweet. Bready despite dominant pineapple aromas and flavor. Good but canned (versus fresh) pineapple juice flavor.
Feel: Coarse, medium-high carbonation. Medium-light body.

330ml can poured into a pils glass.
Look:
Very clear pale gold color, one finger white head dissipates quickly into some patches with almost no lace. There is small visible carbonation.
Smell:
Pineapple dominated that is a bit like pineapple pie, sugar, faint malt, grain, grassy hop.
Taste:
Artificial pineapple juice is an upfront flavor. It is fruity and sugary sweet while reinforces with malt at the backstage. Hop provides a note of floral with very little to almost no bitterness. The aftertaste is filled with full of residual sweetness of unreal pineapple.
Feel:
Light body, clean, watery with semi-smooth mouthfeel and crisp carbonation.
Overall:
Better than I expected. It is tasty and enjoyable. I could feel like drinking pineapple soda with a shadow of malt.

330ml can, 'pineapple' the only English word on the label that wasn't added by the export/import agents.
This beer pours a clear, very pale golden straw colour, with one fat finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy off-white head, which leaves a bit of coral reef atoll lace around the glass as things quickly blow off.
It smells of a rather Jolly Ranchers-esque sugary pineapple fruitiness, a bit of glutenous rice, and the apparently single hop they tossed in here. The taste is more saccharine pineapple and apple juice, a musty rice graininess, weird mirror-world yeast, and a dryness that is neither hoppy or alcoholic in origin.
The carbonation is very low-key in its wan and barely supportive frothiness, the body a sturdy, simple-syrup bolstered medium weight, and smooth, I guess, nothing else here caring or capable enough to interfere. It finishes well off-dry, of course, but hardly the pithy tongue-scraper this foreign field reporter was anticipating.
Overall, not a bad rendition of this low malt, low ABV, and conversely highly-flavoured Asian style of, um, 'beer'. Easy to drink, in a watered-down fruit juice sense, but not something that I can see really making a dent on this side of that big pond that they call the Pacific Ocean - wait - 'Stiegl Radler' - say what?!!
