What does Kirin Ichiban taste like?

The “Ichiban Shibori” process gives the beer its clear, elegant character:

• Appearance: Bright, clear golden yellow with fine, lively carbonation and a stable, white foam head.
• Aroma: Fresh and clean, with subtle notes of pale malt reminiscent of bread or crackers, as well as a very fine, elegant hop aroma in the background.
• Taste: Remarkably soft and smooth. The pure malt flavor is prominent, perfectly complemented by a gentle, unobtrusive hop bitterness. No overly overpowering undertones—very clear and defined.
• Finish: Short, refreshing and clean, with a pleasantly dry aftertaste.
