This is not Sapporo Premium but rather Sapporo Lager Beer, a beer deeply rooted in Japanese brewing tradition. It’s known for its richer malt profile compared to the lighter Premium version. It’s pasteurised, which enhances its shelf life and contributes to a more full-bodied and traditional taste. The flavour leans towards a balance of malty sweetness and sharp hop bitterness, appealing to those who enjoy a more classic lager experience.

This beer is also often referred to as a "heritage lager" and is designed to showcase the brewing craftsmanship of Sapporo. It’s considered less mainstream than the popular Premium Lager, which you typically find globally.
