"Mellow Richness of Quality Hokkaido Barley Malt" as it says on the can.

This is a new Third-Category beer from Sapporo (the third-category beers uses very little malt to reduce tax and thus price).

It's a light golden colour and very fizzy with a white bubbly head like lemonade.

It has the usual slightly "off-beer" daisan (third-category) smell, but not as strong as some others.

Sapporo Creamy White does actually have a creamy texture, which I was surprised at, as these names are usually just hyperbole.
It also has a fizzy, but creamy texture.

Not bad for a daisan, in fact apart from Asahi's the third-category beers seem to have been improving in taste recently, more so than the happoshus.

This one is sharp, fizzy and very carbonated.
Not bad.

Love this one too. Now I can save the Hoegaarden for the REALLY special occasions. This will do for most uses. Though I can't seem to find it on the shelves anymore here in Toyonaka (Osaka). Are they still making it?

Good point. After you said that I've been checking the conbini's and can't find it anywhere. Shame if it was only a limited run.

Nice beer. In fact, I`m having a few now. Very pleasant, slightly creamy taste as the name would suggest.
They were giving away a can for free as a sample two weeks ago at my local Yamaya (like Liquor Mountain). They ran out of them at my local grocery store, but recently got another shipment. I`ve only seen them in those two places, though here in Koriyama it isn`t quite so metropolitan.
Nothing mind blowing, but very solid and a bit better than average, I`d say.
