Sapporo Reserve
An all-malt lager brewed for more body and intensity than the flagship. It pours golden to light amber with a steady bead. Toasted malt and gentle caramel sweetness dominate the nose, with a grainy note and a faint white-grape fruitiness. On the palate rich barley malt meets light lemon zest and a slightly metallic, herbal hop sharpness. The body is medium-light and soft, and the finish is moderately bitter and dry.
