Underwood Brewery’s Rising Sun is a quintessential International Pale Lager, crafted as a crisp rice lager designed for exceptional drinkability. This refreshing beer leads with a delicate, clean profile where the inclusion of rice provides a subtle, airy sweetness and a lean texture. Expect a bouquet of mild, grainy malt and a faint whisper of floral hops that remains secondary to the pure, neutral fermentation character. Its palate is defined by a snap of carbonation and a bone-dry finish, making it a versatile gastronomic partner for spicy Asian cuisine or grilled meats. The experience is defined by brilliant clarity, sensory restraint, and an effortlessly thirst-quenching nature.
Appearance.Brilliant, pale straw color (2-3 SRM). Topped by a bright white, frothy head with moderate retention and minimal lacing.
Aroma.Low intensity with a clean fermentation profile. Initial scents of crackery malt and a soft, sweet graininess indicative of rice. Very low floral and herbal hop notes are present, devoid of fruity esters or diacetyl.
Taste.Crisp initial impression followed by a light, neutral grainy-malt flavor. The rice adjunct contributes a delicate, clean sweetness that transitions quickly into a medium-low bitterness. The balance is slightly toward the dry, bitter side, finishing very clean and short with a faint bready aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Light-bodied and highly carbonated, creating a refreshing carbonic bite on the tongue. Smooth, lean texture with no astringency and no perceptible alcohol warmth.
