This east asian pale lager was inspired by famous Japanese brews and the beautifully resilient Hinoki Cypress tree. Crated for easy-drinking enjoyment without sacrifice to flavor, featuring a crisp effervescence, a crackery malt base and mild, vinous hop aroma. Shift the mundane into the sacred.

2$ can from chalet in n. lima. Pours a hazy lighter colored pale. Nose is clean and fresh lager with a bit of cream corn. Very thin pond scum head. First taste is unexpectedly a sharper bitter bite, not really hops, more of a phenol bitter. Very good carbonation but it don't help the enjoyability factor here. Yes, the bitterness is not that of a pilsner, but more of the kind you get from inexperienced brewers. That odd to say for this brewery, I haven't got that before on any of their other brews. Oh well. Gets a little more difficult in the middle. That band-aid plastic flavor keeps on keepen on. Its in the forefront on the finish. This one a little disappointing. They should have put more effort in the tasting as they did on the label.

Clear bright golden pour with a medium white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Fruity aroma with yeast and malt notes. Light body with flavors of fruity yeast, bready malt and a touch of hops. The finish is clean with a bittersweet fruit and malt aftertaste. Decent overall.
