Suiyoubi no neko

Wednesday's Cat. Unusual name, but pretty good taste.This one is an interesting product. Although its malt content is well over the 67% percent level which makes it legally beer tax-wise, it contains ingredients (orange peel and coriander seeds) which are banned from "real" beers so it is classified as happōshu.
