Money Cat is a Japanese-style rice lager in bright, light straw with a white head, made for those who know how to make their own luck and for nights that don't follow a script. A low floral hop aroma sits alongside rice sweetness; the palate is slightly sweet with gentle bitterness, light in body with moderate carbonation. 4.8% ABV, 15 IBU.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with mild sweetness from rice and light Malz character, followed by a gentle, measured bitterness that never overwhelms. The body is lean and refreshing, allowing the delicate hop bitterness to finish clearly without harshness. Carbonation provides an effervescent quality that enhances drinkability throughout.
