To help celebrate the launch of their new summer menu, we got together with Hakata Ramen restaurant in Bermondsey to brew a tailor-made beer for their Japanese inspired menu.
The Rice Lager has a distinctive characteristic from Sorachi Ace, a hop variety developed in Japan in the 1970s. This brings delicate floral notes of coconut, lemongrass, dill, and coriander to this refreshingly light and unique lager. Torrefied flaked rice and cooked Vietnamese Japonica rice were added to the mash, providing a soft sweetness, medium carbonation, and a light body.
