Kirin’s old types of beers are much more worthwhile than its new ones. The Lager (in a bottle) was a quite okay beer - to an extent that I might consider it the best rice lager in JP - so I was tempted to try this classic-looking Classic. It is not as impressive though as the Lager, but it somehow reminds me of a European lager, I guess because of the slight malty sweetness to it. Otherwise it’s not bad but I would definitely choose the Lager over this - if was to choose from Kirin, of course.

500ml Bottle in Dotonburi area of Osaka, Japan (¥280):
Very much a basic pale lager with the usual corn & maize adjuncts coming through with touches of maize & rice not far behind. There was a faint sweetness to this one at points & I managed to get some hay & grassy hops further on but there wasn't a whole lot to this beer & it's one that I could have lived without trying.
