350 mL can. Purchased in Tokyo. The only English on the can is "Local Beer". You can see the can here: http://www.rakuten.co.jp/yonayona/111011/406709/
This blonde ale poured a slightly hazy golden-straw color with white foam that settled rapidly. The smell was sweet malt with hints of hops and a hint of a nutty aroma. The taste was sweet malt nicely balanced with tangy floral and bitter hops, but the overall flavor was a bit thin. The mouthfeel was smooth and mellow. The body was medium-light with light carbonation. There was a lingering bitter hop flavor. This was a light and refreshing blonde ale.

Ingredients: Malt, hops.
Orange, gold color, with initial skunky nose. Quickly lost its skunkiness and turned into a apple/malt aroma. Sour apple palate with malty sweetness. Light body with medium bitterness. Due to the initial skunky aroma, I imagane that this can was mistreated or I got a bad batch and that is why the sour/sweet did not really come together. I will give this another shot, but was not impressed with this can.
