Orion Zero Life

ZERO LIFE. Scary name for a beer, especially from the happy islands of Okinawa. Below the name the slogan goes like: "Orion 'Zero Life' will make your life more happy and active." And finally the banner tops it off with "Smart life, zero life." Wow, need I say more? Actually I need. How about renaming it from Zero Life to Zero Taste...because that's what it is.

soybean peptide, sweetener [acesulfame K]), spirits (barley)
