A pale straw Japanese-style lager with a light body, smooth malt profile, and crisp, refreshing finish.

This Japanese Rice Lager Beer Making Kit produces a brilliantly clean beer brewed with Pilsen Dry Malt Extract and rice syrup solids. The rice boosts fermentability and lightens the body without thinning flavor, resulting in a polished, dry finish and delicate malt backbone. At 5.4% ABV and 15 IBUs, it delivers balanced drinkability with low bitterness and refined structure.

Japanese Sorachi Ace hops provide subtle citrus character, including lemon zest, fresh lime peel, and faint hints of lemongrass and herbal tea. Proper lagering develops crystal clarity (2.6 SRM) and enhances the smooth, ultra-clean profile that defines this style.
