A 500mL bottle of Japanese beer which says it was brewed in the Czech Republic on the back. Hey, it can't be that bad. And it isn't, but it isn't anything spectacular either. A fair middle-of-the-road beer, it's usually my first choice when out for sushi, and I suppose the meal either enhances it or masks its flaws. Pours out with a big white cloudy head that lasts a while, and leaves a bit of lace in it's wake down the glass. Colour is a straw gold, with lots and lots of bubbles. The nose is a bit metallic, and the taste is very dry, the flavour nearly comes and goes before you can pick up on it. Very faint taste of grains and light hops. Mouthfeel is akin to almost any higher end marco lager. An okay match for sushi or hot weather barbecuing, but it needs to be partnered up to enjoy.

This is a mediocre beer. Pours a bland yellow with a quickly dissipating head. Too much carbonation. Smells a bit like soap. The taste isn't awful. Has more of a malty flavor than the average macro lager but has a faint metallic taste to it as well. Crisp and dry mouthfeel.

Always rate to style...

Clear, yellow, very little soapy head.

Not too much to report on. Rice, dry, peaty.

Wet, high carbonation, crisp, light, not too many flavors.

Uneventful. Great in Sake Bombs. Refreshing for a hot spring day. Recommended as a back up brew.
