| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 5, 2008 Tasted at Brewers Rendevous in Salida. Much too light for me. It did not taste bad was balanced but there wasn"t anything much there. desurfer (1068), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Jul 5, 2008 Draft at the brewery. Pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma is yeasty and sweet with some hoppiness. Flavor is rich and malty, with some wheat and citrus notes. Finishes crisp and clean. Very quaffable but it’s not short on flavor. Great session beer. bonbright7 (174), Bellport, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 30, 2008 I enjoyed the golden and malty Samurai with snacks and sushi. Noting the other rater’s highlights of herbal notes and a crisp finish, the lighter ale was easy to drink. hellbilly (1566), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 29, 2008 hazy yellow pour with a thin white head and light trails of lace. smells sweet and grainy along with fruit, grass, earth and yeast. the flavor is quite floral and perfumy with some twig-like herbal dryness and a crisp finish. medium body. airy mouth feel and a bit parching. it’s tasty but it doesn’t satisfy the creature... tomthompson89 (1494), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 20, 2008 Advertised as a rice beer, I was a little leary from the start. It had a medium mouthfeel and a yeasty and spicy banana flavor. Not as good as the other Great Divides that I have had. jerc (3954), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 19, 2008 2008-06-24. Hazy pastel yellow body, modest white head. Odd aroma, lightly musty grains, presumably its the rice I’m noticing but I wouldn’t have pegged it as such without the label on the bottle. Similar flavour with modest character of dusty grains and cereals, not bad just a little askew. Average palate. Bit dull. Bottle from Mabel’s Seattle trip.

| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | Jun 18, 2008 Tried on 2 different occasions from two different barrels...not a fan. Pale golden with thin head. Very light aroma, maybe a hint of sour fruit. Malty sweet, note of apricot fruit. Rice / fruit mix did not work for me. Dry, boring palate. Did not finish either pint.
