Kirin Brewery Kirin Ichiban Pale Lager at 5% ABV (Bottle at Sushi Ginza, 500 ml, no bottle date or best before)
Appearance: pale straw with a short, short-lived white head, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: crackery pale malt, slightly grassy. (4/10) Taste: mild sweet, very mild bitter. (4/10) Palate: light body, moderate carbonation, crisp finish. (3/5)
Light, crisp and inoffensive. Goes well with sushi, but that’s about the extent of it. (9/20)
My 189th from the 2010 Edition (177th from the 2013 edition), and 199th combining both editions.
4.5/10 #1001beers #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
