Sapporo
Sapporo was first recommended to me by a friend who tried it when he was in Hawaii which was probably close to nine years ago, and it’s taken me this long to actually try it. With a name of a Japanese city, the Japanese writing, and the fact that the bottle says Japan’s Oldest Brand, I kinda figured it was a Japanese beer but in small print on the bottom it says brewed in Canada. So unless there is a Canada in Japan, I’m thinking this is a Canadian beer eh?
The origin of the beer aside, Sapporo has a deep golden, orangish color. It has a pleasant, very fragrant, hop smell. The first taste is slightly bitter but is instantly erased by the malted hop flavor, with a clean finish. The beer is slightly thicker than you would expect but not near as thick as dark, or black beers.
The mid 5.2% alcohol level makes it a perfect beer for enjoying at the end of the day, or any time you want to just sit back and enjoy a great beer. This is one of the best Japanese, err, Canadian beers (eh) I’ve ever had. The relatively low price and ease of acquiring this beer make it a must try.
