The Craft & Co Japanese Rice Lager

Long ago, rice lagers weren’t the kind of beer you expected to see in a craft brewery’s core range but as time has gone on, more brewers have embraced the beautiful simplicity at their heart. Craft & Co is among them, with the Melbourne brewery’s Japanese Rice Lager about finding the beauty in life’s quiet corners.

Pouring sparkling and golden with a dense white head, the lager might be about crisp refreshment but there’s plenty to discover here. A wave of lemon comes through first with that joined by a floral bouquet, a soft spice, gentle biscuity touches and a slightly bitter finish.
