Eh. Smells and tastes malty and alcoholy. Immediately I check to see the ABV to see if it was high. I guess 5.5% isn't low... Yellow yellow beer yellow appearance. Really is too reminiscent of happoshu for my liking. An unpleasant bite. Hardly a "Japanese Rice Lager" to which I'd like to return.

Sickly pale yellow, super clear head clears the head of any suspicions that there might be something wildly interesting about the brew. Regulated, dryish head, thin. Apples, peaches and malts in the nose, sweet with dirty hops.
Taste is good and exceeds expectations. Sweet in the mouth speaks rice and Japanese happoshu. Balanced by a delicate body and completed with a flavorful lightly toasty grain after. Carbonation is refrained and well-balanced.

Ingredients: malt, rice and hops. None of the usual corn and starch.
This is Asahi's response to the very popular Hojun which uses freshness as a selling point. Both beers are not sold past 90 days after manufacture.
Golden body, thin white head, agressively active carbonation.
Very forward malt aroma with a leafy hoppiness in the background.
Very light body, surprisingly strong malt flavor for rice lager. Great use of bittering hops that do not make themselves apparent until the aftertaste.
Not a beer that I would come back to, but interesting enough not to pass up.
