Common descriptors are Umami is a Japanese word adopted into the vernacular for a "pleasant savory taste", something this lager exhibits in abundance with deft additions of cucumber and ginger during conditioning. The beer starts similar to a German Helles. Peeled cucumbers are macerated along with peeled ginger then added to the conditioning vessel. The resulting lager is savory, refreshing and evocative of the flavors of Japanese cuisine. Flavors of melon, black pepper, cucumber, sesame and ginger combine in this one of a kind lager.
