\"\"<\/a>The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153red can\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yebisu Kohaku<\/em> is back again, and retains the same wonderfully balanced, full-bodied taste that I enjoyed before. The 100% barley malt has been roasted to a rich, caramel color, yielding a deep honey amber decoction. The hopping is distinct, with a noticeable bitter note at the end, but not as strong as the drier regular Yebisu or the latest iteration of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153blue can\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Suntory Malts Premium Pilsener<\/em>. There is no significant sweetness of floweriness to the hopping.\u00c2\u00a0 The malt flavor still stands true. The carbonation is more pronounced than other Japanese production beers.\u00c2\u00a0 It will hold a head a little longer, due to the heavier decoction.\u00c2\u00a0 Even as the head goes thin, there are still visible bubble trails, and the carbonation blooms in your mouth.\u00c2\u00a0 This is still one of my favorite JDM production beers.<\/p>\n

Three-and-a-half\u00c2\u00a0out of four wafuu monkeys<\/p>\n

Highly recommended<\/p>\n

5.5% ABV<\/p>\n
