The finest barley malt and premium hops give the Kirin Ichiban its unmistakable drinkability. The Ichiban has a beautiful, golden color with large-pored foam that dissolves quickly. In terms of taste, the Ichiban is reminiscent of a Pils, as it has a fine and subtle tartness that one is not used to from Hellen. The finish is just as fine-dry and has a short aftertaste.
