Beers similar to Sapporo Reserve

Sapporo Brewery

Pale Lager·Japan·5% ABV·One of 341 Pale Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Sapporo Reserve's malty and caramel character. An all-malt lager brewed for more body and intensity than the flagship. It pours golden to light amber with a steady bead. Toasted malt and gentle caramel sweetness dominate the nose, with a grainy note and a faint white-grape fruitiness. On the palate rich barley malt meets light lemon zest and a slightly metallic, herbal hop sharpness. The body is medium-light and soft, and the finish is moderately bitter and dry.
