Super Cool Lager

Tap to rate

Super Cool Lager takes its cue from Japanese rice lagers: a light malt body, almost no residual sweetness and a dry, clipped finish. The aroma stays quiet, with faint cracker malt and a trace of herbal hop, which is the point of the style rather than a shortcoming. Cold, clean and made for volume, at 4.2 percent.

◌ Aroma

The nose is deliberately restrained, following the minimalist philosophy of Japanese rice lagers. Faint cracker malt provides a subtle grain foundation, while a trace of herbal hop sits far back in the background. The overall aromatic presence is quiet and dry, with no fruity esters or sweet malt notes asserting themselves.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and clean with barely perceptible malt sweetness that dissolves immediately. The mid-palate remains bone-dry, allowing subtle herbal and cereal notes to register without weight. Bitterness is minimal and well-integrated, supporting rather than dominating the flavor profile.
