Umami Lager | Free State Brewing Co.
ABV: 5.4%
IBU: 20
Style: Spiced / Herbed Beer
Actively Produced
Description: Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami (or umame): the five basic tastes. Umami is a Japanese word adopted into the vernacular for a “pleasant savory taste”, something this lager exhibits in abundance with deft additions of cucumber and ginger during conditioning. The beer starts with a malt bill similar to a German Helles (see Eutiner Lager), but with a slightly maltier profile. Peeled and seeded cucumbers are macerated along with cleaned and peeled ginger then added to the conditioning vessel. The resulting lager is savory and evocative of the refined flavors of Japanese cuisine. Flavors of melon, black pepper, cucumber, sesame, nori, sushi rice, genmaicha tea (a Japanese green tea with roasted brown rice), and ginger combine in this one of a kind lager.
