4 Pines Japanese Style Lager

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw color with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. The head forms thin and delicate, with modest lacing that clings briefly to the glass. Carbonation is present and visible, supporting a light and airy presence throughout.

◌ Aroma

Fresh grain and cracker notes lead the nose, supported by flaked rice that adds a subtle, slightly sweet grain character. Soft floral and herbal hop qualities emerge behind, with a gentle lemon zest accent that lifts the overall profile without dominating.

◐ Geschmack

Dry and crisp on entry, with the rice adjunct stripping away malty fullness in favor of a lean, refreshing palate. A trace of residual sweetness appears mid-palate but is quickly cut by light herbal bitterness. The malt provides gentle backbone without breadiness, while the 15 IBU bitterness remains restrained and clean.

◑ Abgang

The finish is quick and dry, with the rice character ensuring no lingering heaviness. Herbal notes fade cleanly, leaving only the ghost of grain and a whisper of citrus on the palate.
