"Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is hops, malts and either rice or maize (maybe both?). Flavour os rice, hops and slight maltyness. Not exciting at all, and quite typical Asian "pale" beer. "

[2] Review by vanderla from Sydney, Australia who has tried this beer once. (1/12/2007 10:19:07 PM)
"Pale gold, white head that sinks.
Grassy aromas, tinge of sulfur.
Nutty grains and strong hop bitterness. Flavour reminds me of Resch's Pilsener of a decade or two ago, implying the use of Pride of Ringwood. Some nutty grain flavour.
Bitterness a tad unbalanced.
Good, crisp, & refreshing, but bitter.

"Maybe a touch above the Kirin, Sapporo, and Asahi macros I've been drinking here in Japan, but not by much. Lots of rice and phony malts underneat a beer that finished with a decent hop profile. However, this beer was originally served at something like 40F, so it clearly was in stealth mode, trying to avoid flavor detection. As it warmed, it just turned more and more adjunct-laden tasting. Appearance was originally golden with a nice white head, very decent lacing for a macro pale lager. An ok beer, definitely decent for a pale lager style, but just not worth my liver."

"This beer isn’t anywhere near as interesting as it’s Black Beer brother. Not terrible, but not very different from most middle-of-the-road Japanese lagers that I’ve had recently while working in Sasebo, Japan. Along those same lines, I would take Sapporo Draft Beer over this, but would still prefer this beer over some of the more swill-like offerings from Asahi (for example). As such, with a beer of strictly average qualities, I have no choice to mark this pretty-much down-the-middle average. A beer that doesn’t live up to it’s “premium” advertising, but one that doesn’t repulse me, either.

"Medium straw color, medium head. A medium bodied draft style lager. Nicely malty with a nice hop bite. Clean and crisp taste. Light taste but with some flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and round. Finish is crisp and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Nice beer. I don’t mean to go on a rant here, but STOUT DRAFT is confusing!! "
