Score: 90 by MoIppai (18/02/2011)

This is called Premium Yebisu, and is the standard version, of the 2009 special edition Premium Yebisu I reviewed back in 2009.

This scored much higher than the 2009 version, much higher, so either my tastes have changed (a lot) or the recipe has changed somewhat.

There are quite a few Premium Yebisu's, the gold can All Malt Beer version, as well as a Red Can version. I have a feeling the red can version is the same as this, or at least very similar.

This is a caramel coloured, very fizzy beer with initially a very big but rapidly disappearing light, slightly off-white head.

It has a light malty nose and a nice full mouth feel, with a malty, slightly bitter aftertaste.

It's a fairly dry beer and reminded me of a light British style bitter.

Very nice indeed.
