Sapporo Fuyumonogatari
Sapporo's winter seasonal, released every year since 1988 and presented by the brewery as Japan's first seasonal beer. The recipe combines barley and wheat malt with rice, maize and starch at a higher malt share than the everyday range, with Saaz fine aroma hops in the hop bill. It pours deep gold under a soft head. Bready malt and a light honeyed sweetness meet spicy, herbal hop notes; the wheat gives a smooth, rounded mouthfeel, and the finish is full but clean with gentle bitterness.
