Well; smells like Bud Light (like nothing) tastes good and at much higher quality level than BL. Some hops some malt and much too expensive. Good companion tu sushi.

Sapporo from Japan :
The look of it is really light with golden color with a light carbonation.
The smell of it: Not much is coming on my nose. Get really give something out of it .
The taste of it some grains and some hops maybe but very light. feels like a 4% ABV. I will say even the Coors Light have more taste.
So overall would I recommend it ? If you find it on special like I find it, yeah its different but not exceptional, if its not on special, get something else.
Would I buy it again ? Sure

Poured from a bottle into a standard pint nonic.
Pours very pale gold (almost yellow). Crystal clear. Well carbonated, with a ice head and fairly good lacing retention.
The brew has a very clean crisp aroma initially, with some sneaky sweetness in the background. Only a hint of grassy hops.
The brew hits the tip of the tongue with pale clean malts and less sweetness than expected. The "middle" of the beer feels a bit hollow, lacking some body. The brew finishes very clean and dry with just a touch of both floral and grassy hops.
The brew has a great delivery. Light, crisp, clean, and refreshingly dry. Extremely drinkable.
A difficult "rate" for me. Rated against any brew of any style, I would probably rate this lower. However, because this is a Japanese "macro" I'm comparing it to Euro and American lagers. It's better than some of those, but worse than others. It has a great crisp clean delivery. It doesn't have much flavor--less even than the Buds, Millers, and Coors of the world.

Pours a clear golden color with a white head , smell is grain,yeast and hops. A bready grassy taste follwed by grain and malt. A crisp Mouth feel with grassy hop . Easy to drink nice on tap.
