Samurai

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A fine, white head forms readily and maintains modest lacing down the glass. High carbonation is evident from the steady stream of bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

Delicate jasmine floral notes lead the nose, complemented by the herbal, slightly spicy character of Sorachi Ace and the refined earthiness of Saaz hops. Clean lager fermentation from the Danish yeast contributes a bright, neutral backdrop that allows the adjunct and noble hops to shine without obstruction.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing, with subtle jasmine rice sweetness providing a light malty foundation. Sorachi Ace and Saaz deliver restrained bitterness and herbal notes that remain balanced throughout the mid-palate. The finish is clean and dry, with no lingering heaviness, leaving the mouth fresh and ready for the next sip.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish with excellent drinkability. The aftertaste remains clean and neutral, fading quickly without any astringent or cloying notes.
