Aroma: The aroma is a finely-tuned balance of elements, reminiscent of a serene Japanese garden. Light, biscuity malts lay the foundation, whilst grassy and floral hops add an additional layer of complexity. There's a subtle hint of citrus zest and a whisper of yeast, creating an inviting bouquet that beckons the first sip.

The malt base is crisp and clean, with a lightly toasted character that pairs exquisitely with a restrained hop bitterness. These flavours interweave seamlessly, creating a beer that is light on the palate yet rich in depth. The flavours are harmonious and refined, a nod to the delicate balance that is often sought in Japanese cuisine.
Mouthfeel: The body is medium-light, and the carbonation is fine and spritzy, adding to the overall refreshing nature of the beer. Despite being 'extra dry', there is a smoothness to this lager that makes it incredibly easy to drink.
Finish: The finish is where this lager truly stands out. It is exceptionally clean, crisp and dry, a perfect counterpoint to the subtle sweetness of the malt. There is a residual hint of hop bitterness and a touch of citrus zest, which linger briefly on the palate, inviting the next sip.
In essence, the Mash Gang Stoop Extra Dry - Japanese Lager is a wonderfully balanced, refreshing beer. It embodies the subtlety and harmony that is often associated with Japanese beverages, resulting in a lager that is both simple and complex, light yet satisfying.
