Kirin Ichiban White Beer
Kirin Ichiban White Beer joined the range in April 2025. Part of the grist is wheat malt, the beer is made from first-run wort only and left unfiltered, which gives it a pale, lightly hazy look. The aroma is gentle: soft grain and a sweet wheat note, with a hint of lemon and very little hop character. On the palate it is rounder and softer than the standard Ichiban, a faint lemony freshness and mild acidity set accents, bitterness stays very low, and the finish is clean and light.
