L- Colour hard to judge accurately tonight, but it appears to be medium-chestnut brown with a slight orange hue to it. Crystal clear, pours with 3mm white head.
S- There's something slightly different here, it's a hint of rich fruit together with something aromatic akin to a conifer smell.
T- Surprisingly bitter-dry on the front, especially for a Japanese beer (many JPnese 'don't do the bitter taste'), some toastiness and also a mild sweet note.
F- Rather thin, good carbonation in the mouth (as with just about every other JPnese beer).
O- There are a couple of minor facets to the flavour that are different; I'm not sure what they are (lable is in JPnese). It has a richness which in the absence of higher ABV% and clear character risks coming over as a sweet edge. In fact that sweet note builds as it warms a touch. Disappointing.
Bought from Ichibaa Japanese supermarket at Westfield, London W12. £4.75/350ml can that's mostly metallic orange and gold/yellow. BB: 03/2020
