Rationale Brewing Japanese Style Dry

A non-alcoholic dry lager brewed with rice and Pilsner malts, Saphir hops, grain character, and subtle cherry blossom notes.

Rationale Brewing Japanese Style Dry

Rationale Brewing Japanese Style Dry is a crisp, dry non-alcoholic lager brewed with rice and Pilsner malts. Saphir hops add a floral and fruity lift, while the malt bill keeps the beer clean and grain-led.

The profile is restrained rather than sweet, with subtle cherry blossom notes, a touch of grain, and a dry lager shape. It is sold in 12 oz cans and stays below 0.5% ABV.
