I purchased this Japanese Lager from Harland Brewing in Culver City, California. It came from a local Trader Joe’s. This beer is brewed in San Deigo with puffed Jasmine rice and toasted rice flakes. This beer is also fermented with Urkle (which allows for a nice balance between hops and malt) from Imperial Czech Yeast. This beer is 5% ABV. This Japanese Lager pours a golden color with a three-finger bright white head. The head does leave nice lacing behind as it dissipates. The aroma is semi-sweet, lightly bitter, clean, and crisp. The flavor is sweet, bready, light on bitterness, clean, and crips. This is a light-bodied beer. This Lager finishes clean and crips. The aftertaste has a light sweetness that doesn’t really linger. This Harland Brewing Japanese Lager is better than Japanese Lager from Japan. Those from Japan are good. This Japanese Lager is an A+. I recommend this beer to anyone who fancies a nice Lager. There is a perfect amount of sweetness, bitterness, and breaded notes to make this beer delicious. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
