Purchased as a 12oz can from The Blue Door for $3.25. Poured into a pils glass.

L - Clear straw with plenty of bubbles, paired with a three-finger sudsy pale-white head that dissipates rather quickly. Medium lacing.
S - Sweet grain. Herbal honey. Fermented rice. Simple.
T - An introduction of bittersweet standard Tsingtao-esque grain flavors evolve into a wave of herbaceous complexity. Notes of grass and spice, with hints of lemon zest. Before you get too comfortable, the experience is over - leaving you to take another sip.
F - Dry. Clean. Medium body, with medium-light carbonation.
O - An impressive brew! Drinkable, but a bit heavy for the style. Just complex enough to keep things interesting. I'd definitely buy this one again.

A: Pours a clear pale yellow in color with moderate to heavy amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate lemon yellow + very pale golden yellow + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall fizzy foamy bright white head that reduces to a couple of medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of biscuit + grainy + rice malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. Light to moderate aromas of lager yeast. Light aromas of citrus/lime zest + floral + grassy + spicy hops.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of biscuit + grainy + rice malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of lager yeast. Finally there are slightly heavier than light flavors of citrus/lime zest + floral + grassy + spicy hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away quickly leaving a relatively clean finish.

M: Slightly heavier than light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp with a slightly soft mid-body and a relatively clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly crisp + clean though slightly soft mouthfeel. Enjoyable and introduced me to a new hop (to me) Lórien hops.

Soft kiss is a light rice lager, not the best ive had, since it has a sour aftertaste. But still very good! Highly recommend.
