Pouring an inviting light amber colour with thick, dense foam, Kakkō (meaning: “downhill”) is our classic take on a Viennese Lager. Anton Dreher, the heir of a popular brewery in…. you guessed it, Vienna… popularized this style and arguably revolutionized brewing when he paired his patented lightly kilned malts (now referred to as Vienna Malt) with lager fermentation. Ours features notes of toasted bread crust, chestnut honey, and a hint of wildflower, which complement its smooth texture and clean finish. As with all of our lagers, decoction, extended cold conditioning time, and natural carbonation all serve to soften the edges of this simple yet refined creation.

Poured from 355mL can (pkg 23 Oct 2023; thanks Nico). Clear-ish chill hazed amber orange with small white head. Mild breadcrust and grain, feint hint of honey, clean and simple, okay.

355mL can, pours a mostly clear copper amber with a small white head. Aroma has soft toasted malt, some bready crusts, and some graininess. Flavour is grainy and mineraly in a way that doesn't seem quite right, but there's a nice, dry bready crust character, and some soft toasted malt. Too grainy and mineraly. It's alright.
