hopIQ found 10 beers with the same hoppy and malty character as Kirin Brau Meister. Kirin Brau Meister (ブラウマイスター) has been served on draught in bars and restaurants since 1993 and takes its name from the German master brewer title held by the Kirin brewers behind it. Part of the hops go in as whole dried cones, and the beer matures about half as long again as Kirin Lager Beer. At 5.5% it is a little stronger than the brewery's everyday lagers. A fragrant hop aroma with herbal and floral notes rises over a dense, malty body with bread and grain, the foam is fine, and the finish is full yet firm. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
