Sapporo Premium Lager (65.1cl, 4.9%)

Sapporo Premium is a Japanese rice lager at 4.9% vol, in a 651ml silver can. It comes from Sapporo Breweries, founded in 1876 on Hokkaido. It is brewed with malted barley, rice, corn, hops and water, and the rice gives it a light body and clean finish. The nose is gently grainy and malty, with floral and grassy hops and a little lemon zest. The palate is light and crisp with lively carbonation, mild malty sweetness and delicate herbal hop notes. The finish is clean and dry, with little bitterness.
