Brewery: Sapporo Breweries, Ltd. Tokyo, Japan (Brewed in Ontario, Canada)
Overview: Sapporo is Japan's oldest beer, and now has a worldwide brewing and distribution network.
Aroma: Strong malty flavor, very little hop aroma.
Appearance: Crystal clear, pale gold. Has a white head and shows moderate carbonation in the rising bubbles.
Flavor: This lager is a very malty beverage. Some hop bitterness.
Overall Impression: To be honest, Sapporo is not my favorite beer in a light style, perhaps because its full malt flavor is quite a meal in itself. That said, though, Sapporo is an excellent sidecar to sushi and other light Japanese fare. The malty flavor helps cut any heat from your wasabi and and is a great example of the Japanese lager interpretations.
