Premium Rice Lager

Tap to rate

A rice lager at 5%, made with barley and rice for an extra light, dry body, with floral and lemon notes the brewery attributes to Sorachi Ace hops. It began as a collaboration with The American and Hero's Welcome, two Vancouver bars, and has stayed in the packaged range across menu changes.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Premium Rice Lager

◎ Appearance

A pale straw-gold body with exceptional clarity and bright, luminous transparency. The head is fine and delicate, settling to a thin collar with modest lacing retention. Fine carbonation creates steady, pinpoint bubbles that rise cleanly through the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with floral and herbal notes characteristic of Sorachi Ace, layered with bright lemon zest and subtle citrus blossom. A light, clean malt backbone emerges underneath, offering gentle grain sweetness without heaviness. The overall aromatic profile is crisp and refreshing, with no yeast-driven or adjunct obscuration.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and dry, with the rice adjunct contributing a gossamer lightness to the palate. Mid-palate develops quiet lemon and floral hop character, balanced by restrained grain sweetness. Bitterness is moderate and resolves quickly, leaving no harsh edges—the overall impression is one of precision and balance rather than intensity.
