Coedo Kyara

I wasn't so optimistic about trying this Coedo "premium all malt beer". So why did I even bother? Especially considering what shite the Ruri was? I'm a glutton for punishment; this is not news.

Said to be something of an Amber Lager -- the official website grossly exaggerates the "rich golden brown with tinges of red" in this beer. Actually, this is no darker than the very pale Full Moon
I had prior to this -- and A LOT less interesting.

But at least this is better than the Coedo Ruri. This actually has the middling hints of some real malt and some sort of real hops to the whole affair.

But...., this also has a rather synthetic/manufactured feel to it; brewed by a machine instead of a "beer artisan, braumeister", seemingly.

This is something of an odd duck, really. More interesting than it's sister beer, the Ruri, and in theory this should be more appealing than the hundreds of different and not-so-different beers from Kirin, Asahi, et al. But in practice, I'd just as well save a ¥100 or so and get a middle-of-the-road Happoshu, and skip this outfit's stuff altogether....
