About the Ale

The new ale variety is brewed using "Diamond Malt," a specialty ingredient known for its deep, rich flavor that is a hallmark of the Perfect Suntory Beer brand. It is fermented with top-fermenting yeast, a method characteristic of ale-style beers, which contributes to the brew's distinctive aroma. Generous use of aroma hops gives the beer a refreshing fragrance and a lingering fruity finish — all while maintaining zero sugar content.
