Clear amber brew with plenty of foam in the Hokkaido pilsner glass. Aroma is fruity and floral. Taste is rather sweet with a sharp finish. The hops are quite fragrant with unusual smells rather than the usual citrus. Sudsy and sharp on the tongue. Flavors of ripe apricot, peach, and something green like asparagus. Mild astringency and moderate bitter aftertaste with the woody and peachy note in the nose. You could call this a hoppy Lager for sure. From the 350 ml can brought home from Japan. Dated 2025/08.
