Tap to rate

Revelry's Japanese-style rice lager — 4.5% ABV, rice adjunct softness, extra-clean fermentation, snap-dry finish. The lager slot in Revelry's core, brewed drier than a Mexican lager and lighter than a pilsner. Named 1865 for the founding date of Charleston (Charles Town's second charter). Session-friendly, gets out of the way.

◌ Aroma

Restrained and clean on the nose, with subtle grain and light cereal notes from the rice adjunct. A whisper of noble hop character emerges, offering mild herbal and mineral undertones. The fermentation profile is neutral and elegant, allowing the delicate malt foundation to speak without interference.

◐ Taste

Soft, pillowy entry with the characteristic smoothness imparted by rice, followed by a crisp, dry mid-palate that refuses heaviness. Light bitterness from noble hops (22 IBU) provides structure and balance without asserting dominance. The rice adjunct lends a refined dryness that distinguishes this from sweeter pilsner-style lagers.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and brisk, drying progressively toward the back of the mouth with a mineral-edged aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or cloying character; the beer exits gracefully and encourages the next sip.
