The Japanese name for this beer is "Kohaku no Zeitaku" which translates as "The Luxury of Amber". Which is nice.
It does have a very nice,dark golden amber colour.
On pouring you get a nice big head which disappears very quickly.
It has a more of a mellow, darker taste than Suntory's Autumn beer, the Aki Nama.
This one is quite smooth and not gassy.
Like the Aki Nama it has a short finish and is pretty light and crisp.
This is more dry and bitter than the Nama, and I think I prefer this one.
Which is handy as it's Winter (in terms of beers) so the Autumn ones will disappear from the shelves soon.

| This came out again this Winter (2010) and I thought I'd try it again. Reading the can it seems this is made with "Aromatic Hops" from Kyoto. And it has a dark roasted malt taste to it. I scored it a bit less this year, but it is interesting for a daisan, so definitely worth trying. |
