3.45/5  rDev +3.3%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Ingredients: malt, hops

This brew is only sold in bullet train stations throughout Japan.

White (with the slightest hint of yellow) head. Active carbonation.

Big sweet aroma of pale malt.

Bold malt flavor, bright lively bitterness. Hops remind me Jever, but this beer has more maltiness than Jever.

The mouth feel is mostly carbonation and not much else. This beer is fighting for its 3 on the mouthfeel.

This is a relatively satisfying beer for drinking on a train to help induce sleep or ease the pain of travelling.

The can this beer comes is really cool and manga'ed out, with a train flying out of a woman holding something blindingly bright in her hands, all against a space background.

A nice head falls down to leave a thin one. Sweet smell is average, unlike other ginga kogen beers. The taste is sweet honey off the bat with distinct hops quickly following. The mouthfeel is frothy, light carbonation that softly bubbles the whole brew through your mouth. The beer is quite light. Very drinkable, and enjoyable brew.
