[1] Review by Randyt from Lewisville, TX, USA who has tried this beer many times. (4/1/2008 11:44:44 PM)
"Aroma, flavor and mouthfeel were always dependent upon the water supply in Okinawa. In the early 70s it was the only local beer one could find in Okinawa, and compared to preservative filled Ameircan beer it was very good. By the time I got back to Okinawa in late 80s there was a lot more choices in Japanese and other beers. However, many of us old timers still enjoyed the Orion. If one found it on draft, which is true with most beers obviously, it had a much bette aroma and flavor."

" The aroma is a little skunky. The appearance was nice lots of head and lacing nice carbonation bubbles. The mouthfeel was also nice. This is the only beer in Colorado that you can get that is actually brewed in Japan. I have had a lot of Japanese beer in Japan (Japanese beer in the states are brewed in canada or USA). Compared to Japanese light beers in Japan this is ok. Compared to United States light beers this is so much better. This beer has a nice hoppy flavor. Crisp and mild great for a hot day."

[3] Review by Vac from San Diego, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/26/2008 3:08:30 PM)
"Pours with a pale yellow body topped by a very thin, white head with no lacing. It’s slightly swett with a touch of bitterness, a grassy note and corn notes with little else. Light bodied and crisp."

[4] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer once. (4/15/2006 5:58:10 AM)
"Canned. Pale golden colour, minor white head. Aroma is diacetylic, maizeish and malty. Flavour is totally crap, diacetyl and very harsh grassy mould and skunked hops. Very unpleasant. No points for this one. No, none whatsoever. "

[5] Review by jonmoore from United Kingdom who has tried this beer once. (11/21/2005 3:26:22 PM)
"Bottle. Mid golden colour with a slim white head. Grainy, hoppy and wet paper aroma. Taste is bad, real bad. Can’t go on. First one of these filler sentances I've done in a while.
