Almost like a pale Tizer colour in fact, especially on the initial pour when it's really fizzy with a big head.
On the nose it's malty with a hint of hops in the background.
It has a medium to light mouth feel with a nice maltiness to it up front. There is however a hint of something "odd" on the finish, in fact I had to double check the can to make sure it was a "real" beer as opposed to a happoshu, as there's a sense of a chemical aftertaste. I say sense, as it's not obvious like a happoshu, but more of a nagging sensation.
Still this is a pretty nice, dry, very drinkable Yebisu and I'll be drinking more of it.
I was going to give it a 90 initially, but the slightly odd aftertaste dropped a point.
