Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Shifu Rice Lager

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. Carbonation is lively and evenly distributed, creating a steady stream of small bubbles that sustain the foam structure throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

A clean, straightforward nose dominated by soft cereal and bready notes from the rice adjunct and pale malz base. Subtle floral notes from noble hops provide gentle support without asserting themselves, while the overall impression remains light and refreshingly uncomplicated.

◐ Taste

Smooth entry with a delicate, slightly sweet malted grain character that sits comfortably on the palate. The mid-palate remains crisp and clean, with restrained bitterness (22 IBU) providing just enough structure to balance the soft malt sweetness without dominating. The finish is dry and quick, leaving minimal residual sweetness.
