Hinoki

Our first Japanese style rice lager is brewed using heaps of flaked rice and a decoction mash schedule to promote dryness. We then hopped it with carefully timed additions of Mittelfruh and Saaz before finishing it in the whirlpool with Sorachi Ace. Its fantastically bright and clean, floral notes from the rice compliment the early additions of mittelfruh and Saaz and highlight the lemon qualities of sorachi ace.

FUN FACT – Sorachi Ace was originally cultivated for use in Asahi’s rice lager.
