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

This Japanese Rice Lager Beer Recipe Kit produces a brilliantly clean beer brewed with Pilsen Dry Malt Extract and rice syrup solids. The rice lightens the body without thinning flavor and increases fermentability, creating a dry, polished finish. At approximately 5.4% ABV and 15 IBUs, the beer remains balanced, smooth, and highly drinkable.

Sorachi Ace hops contribute subtle citrus notes including lemon zest and fresh lime peel, along with delicate hints of lemongrass and herbal tea. When properly lagered, the beer develops crystal clarity (2.6 SRM) and a refined, easy-drinking character.

This 1-gallon Japanese Rice Lager Beer Recipe Kit includes:

  • Pilsen Dry Malt Extract
  • Rice syrup solids
  • Sorachi Ace hop additions
  • Lager yeast packet
  • Grain Steeping Bag (if required by formulation)
