What does Kirin Ichiban taste like?

The "Ichiban Shibori" method gives the beer its clear, elegant character:

• Appearance: Bright, clear golden yellow with fine, lively carbonation and a stable, white head.
• Aroma: Fresh and clean, with subtle notes of pale malt reminiscent of bread or crackers, and a very fine, elegant hop aroma in the background.
• Taste: Remarkably soft and smooth. The pure malt taste is prominent and perfectly complemented by a gentle, unobtrusive hop bitterness. No distracting off-flavors – very clear and defined.
• Finish: Short, refreshing and clean, with a pleasant dry aftertaste.
