Hahn SuperDry GF

Hahn Brewing
Tap to rate
🌍 Australia · Rice Lager · One of 6 Rice Lagers in hopIQ

Brewed entirely on rice instead of barley or wheat, a switch the brewers spent more than five years working out. The grain swap leaves a very clean, neutral base: pale straw in the glass, light citrus aromas off the hop addition and a soft yeast note where malt character would otherwise sit. It drinks crisp and thin-bodied, low in bitterness, with almost no residual sweetness and a quick dry close. The missing malt backbone is the point rather than a shortcoming — the beer reads as clean instead of full.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hahn SuperDry GF

◎ Appearance

Pale straw color with bright clarity and a delicate, fine-bubbled head that dissipates quickly. The carbonation is visibly active, creating a lively mousse that leaves minimal lacing on the glass. The beer presents as translucent and inviting, with the paleness characteristic of rice-based brewing.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with light citrus notes from the hop addition, clean and lifted without sharp intensity. A soft yeast character emerges in the background, adding subtle complexity where traditional malt aromatics would sit. The overall profile is restrained and neutral, emphasizing the stripped-back grain foundation rather than competing aromatic layers.

◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and thin-bodied, delivering the promised dryness without harsh edges. Citrus character carries into the mid-palate but remains subtle; bitterness is kept deliberately low, allowing the clean rice base to speak. The absence of malt sweetness or residual sugar is intentional—this beer reads as lean rather than empty.
