Essence of Kire

Lager - Japanese Rice

Japanese brewers strive to produce beers with kire (pronounced KEY-day) meaning “sharpness” or “crispness.” Designed to enjoy with foods without overpowering them, these beers are renowned for their bright, spicy flavor, light body and quick dry finish. We formulated our version with flaked rice & wildflower honey for a crisp body, lemongrass for a citrusy snap and hopped it with classic Saaz and a new hop on the block, Contessa, for notes of spice, green tea and lime. After a month of cold lagering, we filtered it crystal bright for a clean finish.

Fun! Have never had a rice lager before (If this is fully gluten free I have a diff review but presuming not) little too watery but that means very crushable :)
