Dogo Beer Lager (Kolsch)

Brewery : Minakuchi Brewery 水口酒造
Location : Japan > Matsuyama
Beer Type : Lager
Alcohol : 5% Abv
Score: 90 by MoIppai (29/11/2011)

This Dogo Lager from Minakuchi Brewery (水口酒造) who make the Dogo Beer brand is brewed in the Kolsch style (a German style of beer that's less bitter than a standard German lager, and tends to be quite hoppy).

The brewery is based in Matsuyama City in Shikoku, the fourth largest island in the Japanese archipelago, just to the south of Kobe and Osaka.

The lager has a light toffee, caramel colour on the pour and has a fairly fizzy white head.

There's a light maltiness on the nose.

On the palate it's fairly light bodied, fresh, crisp and a little hoppy with some maltiness.

Very smooth and drinkable. A little bitter on the finish but quite subtle.

Overall a very good, refreshing lager. I reviewed this back in the summer after a trip to Shikoku and the brewery and it went down very well in the hot and stuffy Japanese heat. I wished I had a couple more.
