\"Sapporo_classic_2010_color\"<\/a>\"Sapporo_classic_2010_front\"<\/a>I don’t have a can of the “blue letter” Sapporo Classic to do a side-by-side taste test, but this limited edition brew from Sapporo Breweries is definitely a winner.\u00c2\u00a0 Like the standard Sapporo Classic, this “green letter” variety is supposedly only available in Hokkaido.\u00c2\u00a0 The color, mouthfeel, and structure is essentially the same as the generic Sapporo\u00c2\u00a0Black Label lager\u00c2\u00a0available worldwide, but the flavor is distinct.\u00c2\u00a0 Typical of most Japanese dry lagers, this one is well attenuated with no unconverted sugars available to taste.\u00c2\u00a0 A good hit of bittering hops makes sure the “dry” point is driven home.\u00c2\u00a0 The initial bitter is followed by a good, rich maltiness that fades smoothly to a clean finish.\u00c2\u00a0 Just a little more bitter, and they will be approaching Wernesgruener territory!\u00c2\u00a0 This one is up there with the “gold can” Sapporo brewed with 100% Hokkaido barley and hops.\u00c2\u00a0 As this is a limited edition both for time and sales territory, give it a try if you have the chance!<\/p>\n

Highly recommended<\/p>\n

5% ABV<\/p>\n

210-yen<\/p>\n

Available on the JDM only<\/p>\n

Four out of four drunken pilsener monkeys<\/p>\n
