I have a urinary tract infection.
Appearance: Nothing about this beer suggests that it's anything other than a nondescript, perfectly average yellow Japanese lager. No, make that a slightly above-average one, thanks to respectable head retention.
Smell: I don't know how low-alcohol beers are supposed to smell, so it's hard for me to judge this with style in mind... but it smells okay, exceedingly weak and generally inoffensive, like a blend of three quarters Kirin Classic and one quarter La Croix.
Taste: Hmm. Tastes like that, too - malty sparkling water. It isn't bad, though, and the hops are actually fairly pronounced. Extremely dry and weak.
Mouthfeel: Sparkly but not abrasively so; light as air and dry as a bone. Definitely the beer's high point.
Drinkability: Drinkable in the way sparkling water is drinkable. Unfortunately, this isn't Sparkling Water Advocate. Points for the very high ratio of fiber to calories, though: 5.3 grams to 49!
