“An experimental brew inspired by classic Japanese rice lagers (with a more modern hop-twist). Rice lagers are excellent for cleansing your palate between courses of a big delicious meal, but don’t take our word for it.”

Glassware: Shaker.

Appearance: Bright golden pour with a puffy two finger head resting atop. Gradual reduction, settling to a fine overlay which provides reasonable lace work on the glass.

Aroma: Smells incredible. Don’t know if it’s because we haven’t had a beer for a while or whether it’s just a cracking aroma. Probably a mix of both! The hop combo of Enigma, Topaz and Magnum is a masterstroke…Enigma, in our opinion, is Australia’s version of Nelson Sauvin, offering those delicate white wine/green grape and melon notes which works into the dry and grainy lager base magnificently.

Flavour: So supremely crushable. Again, the Enigma hops provide that white wine-like crispness with hints of grass, pine resin, citrus and unripened stone fruits in support. A gentle bitterness rolls over midway and leads into the clean, dry and slightly resinous finish which endures nicely on the back end.

Mouthfeel: Crisp, clean, light on. Mild-moderate body and carbonation. 4.2% ABV. Just straight up neck oil.

Overall: Highly enjoyable rice lager. The hop combo was a really good touch and the drink-ability was next level. We could so easily slam a 6 pack of these without even trying.
