KIRIN ICHIBAN SHIBORI WHITE BEER 5% 麒麟KIRIN一番榨白啤酒 500ml

Brewed by Kirin Brewery Company, the “White Beer” edition of the Ichiban Shibori line (一番搾 ホワイトビール) launches as a limited-edition wheat beer blending malted barley with wheat malt, using only the first wort from the mash. 

At approximately 5% ABV, this 500 ml can offers a faintly hazy or unfiltered appearance, gentle wheat grain sweetness, and a soft mouthfeel—designed to be more approachable and rounded than traditional lagers. 

Tasting Profile:

• 🍺 Type: White Wheat Beer (Wheat & Barley Malt Blend)

• 🍞 Flavour: Soft wheat, subtle barley malt, gentle hop bitterness, light haze

• 🔸 ABV: 5.0 %

• 🌡️ Best Served: Well-chilled (4–6 °C)

Why It Stands Out:

• ✔️ Brewed using Kirin’s first-wort extraction (Ichiban Shibori) for a purer flavour.

• ✨ Smooth texture, gentle character—ideal for casual occasions, food-pairing, or drinking with friends.
