Commercial Description:
We crafted “Laughing Buddha” to highlight the best qualities of the famous lager beers of Japan, China, India, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, and the Philippines. It is brewed with crystal malts and noble Saaz hops. In addition, we follow the Japanese ichiban shibori , or first press, method of brewing. When you drink Laughing Buddha, you know you are drinking fresh, hand crafted beer. Laughing Buddha can easily become your favorite beer, but will also pair well with sushi, seafood, and stir-fry dishes.

Bottle: Greenish gold hue with a light white head and nice lacing. Nose of clean fruity light hops, toasty clean pilsner malt and a touch of paper. The flavor is clean, lightly fruity with a mostly clean and toasty malty flavor. Clean snappy finish. Nice balance, perfect bitterness level for a lager, not into the pilsner area. Nice!

typical aroma and color like most lagers. good character and crisp finish but it lacks the zesty noble side i’m looking for. fair and balanced like fox news.

From a 22-ounce bottle--thanks to Dave at By The Bottle in Vancouver, Washington--Poured a light straw-copper body with a small white top. Creamy, nutty, earthy, sweet body with some sweet rice presence. Not a big fan of the style, but one of the best representations to date.

Bottle courtesy of SuzyGreenberg. Pours gold with a sustained white head. smells of toasted malt, caramel, touches of dough, some citrussy hints. Tastes of dry malr, some residual sweetness is still there, touches of bitterness. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is semi sweet and crisp. Well done!

A lightly flavored lager. It will pair well with Asian cuisine. A subtle flavor that is not too hoppy.
