Kirin Brau Meister
Kirin Brau Meister (ブラウマイスター) has been served on draught in bars and restaurants since 1993 and takes its name from the German master brewer title held by the Kirin brewers behind it. Part of the hops go in as whole dried cones, and the beer matures about half as long again as Kirin Lager Beer. At 5.5% it is a little stronger than the brewery's everyday lagers. A fragrant hop aroma with herbal and floral notes rises over a dense, malty body with bread and grain, the foam is fine, and the finish is full yet firm.

What is a Pale Lager?
Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
