This was a limited edition beer I found in Japan brewed by Sapporo. It is said to be a Pale Lager and after having opened it I realized that it is actually the closest to a German (Euro) Lager: awful, dry and bitter.
It looks better than your average but the brown hue tells you that it will not be that rich in flavor, perhaps artificially colored. But the smell reminds you of the European Lagers and the taste follows, however in a bit different fashion: feels to have somewhat more body in the beginning but then it quickly fades away ibto dryiness and bitterness prevails in 2/3rd of the taste in the German way.
Could be something new for the Japanese audience but definitely not my favorite beer, quite uninteresting and sloppy.
