A 100% malt Japanese lager brewed at 5% ABV using Kirin's first-press method, in a 651ml bottle. Kirin Brewery Company, founded in 1885 in Yokohama, uses only the liquid that flows naturally from the mash before additional water is added, with no adjuncts such as corn or rice. The aroma is light, clean malt with white bread and faint minerality, plus subtle floral hops. The palate is soft and lightly honeyed, with toasted malt sweetness, gently citrusy mid-palate and modest bitterness. The finish is dry and crisp with a clean, slightly bitter fade.
