About This Beer
The legendary pFriem brewed this sterling Lager in the Japanese tradition with jasmine rice.
Tasting Notes
Swirling aromas of wildflower and brim plum waft out of every crisp, sparkling pour. Invigorating flavors of baguette, green tea, and wild violets flood the palate on this sip until a snappy finish.

Flavor of light citrus, rice, corn, a hint of plum, and a floral finish. This is extremely drinkable. Fighting back the urge to gulp it. Very refreshing, tastes extremely clean. I would drink this all the time if I could.

As delicate as Belgian lace, with whispery soft florality. In its fragile minimalism, this may be the most Japanese beer ever made – and it’s not from Japan. Almost like soft, clean water, in the best possible way.

Hard to rave about a lager but this was a very fine example. Great aroma, flavor and super smooth. Glad I maxed out on this one. pFriem always nails it

Man, these guys know how to brew...this was crisp, clean, slightly dry and lite. Glad I picked up six. To bad they don't ship outside of Oregon.

Uh, this is an elaborate way of saying Budweiser in a fancy bottle. I’m truly upset.

This style has become one of my favorites. You can always count on pFriem to make any beer flawlessly and this is no exception. A true lager yeast strain with that slightly malty sweet / floral balance I've come to expect from a Japanese lager.

Crisp, light smell with a floral kick. Taste is also very light and crisp with a sort of biscuity note, likely from the rice. Wish I would have gotten 6 instead of 2

Very good. More nose and flavor than any Japanese counterpart I’ve tried. Also slightly less dry than traditional rice lagers, which makes for a better balanced flavor. Thoroughly enjoyed with cube poke and white rice.

I was very pleasantly surprised, this tastes just like a draft Japanese style lager. The price couldn't be beat and I will surely buy more of this the next time I see it.
