Beer Review
Appearance
Clear
Aroma
Orthonasal Aroma
Lemon notes, raw noble hop character.
Retronasal Flavor
Pronounced noble hops with gentle marmalade. A pleasant minty sensation passes through the nose.
Taste
Mouthfeel
A natural, beer-like quality.
Body and Texture
A pleasantly fresh, young-beer quality. There’s a touch of something like detergent, but in a beautiful way. The bitterness spreads incredibly pleasantly. Marmalade-like bitterness that isn’t cloying at all – quite refreshing. The liquid left in the mouth delivers beautiful lemon notes. Truly delicious. The bitterness gradually builds in the mouth, then intensifies suddenly after about 4 seconds. Swallowing at that moment feels incredibly satisfying.
The Swallow
Gentle. Slightly (truly just slightly) dank. A burst of noble hop-style dankness. Beautiful.
Aftertaste
Leaves a minty, menthol-like flavor with marmalade-like citrus notes.
Overall Impression
Surprisingly delicious for a major brewery product. Excellent condition. Being able to drink this for around 300 yen is truly a blessing.
