Japanese Lager·United States·5% ABV·One of 1 Japanese Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Samurai's floral and malty character. Jasmine rice gives this Japanese lager a slightly floral aroma and an effervescent, crisp, easy-going drink. Sorachi Ace and Saaz provide the hops, Danish lager yeast does the fermenting, and the result lands at 5.0% ABV and 20 IBU. Samurai is a classic Great Divide brand that came back, brewed year-round.
