Suntory Master’s Dream

Master’s Dream is a premium lager from Suntory’s ‘The Premium Malts’ range and caught my eye because it is one of the few bottled Japanese beers.

The first thing that hits your tongue is a hint of malty sweetness, which quickly disappears into some very light non-sweet malty aromas. The predominant flavor of this beer is bittering hops and the bitterness pervades almost the whole short flavor profile all the way to the aftertaste. A pleasant feature of this beer is the noticeable fine carbonation which makes for a very nice mouthfeel.

Altogether, Master’s Dream is a very good and easy to drink lager that almost feels like a German Pilsner.
