Rice Lager with Saaz. Rice has gotten a bad rap. Stateside we think of the cheap, macro beers made en masse, but Japan has a long tradition of using rice the right way in the brewing process, achieving clarity, crispness, and subtle sweetness. In our business, it’s also a perfect platform for showcasing the unique qualities of the hops employed. Delicate notes of Iced Camomile Tea, Junmai Sake, Melon Mochi and Hokkaido Summertime.

Can from Tavour. Pours very pale gold with a decent creamy white head. Grass/spice for aroma. Med body. Pretty dry. Very grass/spice for bitterness. Hard to pick out malt - there's something, but it probably is the rice. Picks up a sweet note as time progresses.

Taste at Trail's End. Pours a clear, pale, golden color, with a medium, white head. The nose is saltine crackers, jasmine, light grassy hops, and cane sugar. Not too sweet, with a crisp, light bitterness. Light, clean, and well made.
