75BEER Manatsu no Lager

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A fine, white head forms readily and clings to the glass with delicate lacing as the beer settles. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, giving the beer an inviting, effervescent presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by refined, fresh hop character—floral and herbal notes emerge cleanly without harshness. Beneath this sits a gentle malty foundation derived from Okinawan barley, adding subtle sweetness and softness. The dual yeast strain contributes a crisp, fermentation-driven clarity that prevents any heaviness.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and light, with hop bitterness arriving early and remaining moderate throughout (22 IBU). Mid-palate develops a balanced interplay between Edelhopfen character and the soft malty backbone, neither overpowering the other. The finish is dry and crisp, with residual hop definition that doesn't linger aggressively.

◑ Abgang

Finish is short to medium, clean and refreshing without any sticky or cloying aftertaste. The hop character fades smoothly, leaving only a pleasant dryness and a faint malty echo.
