Author: MyakoMy first impression of this beer wasrefreshing!
It has a strong citrus flavor, a light texture and a slight sweetness, but it's not heavy at all and you can gulp it down easily.
However, it's more like a lemon-flavored beer than a beer, soIt's a little different for those who want to enjoy the original taste of beer.Maybe.
