Jun 24, 2009 Golden pour with a light feel. I enjoyed this one very much. It had hints of fruit in it but maintained a solid body. This one went down easy.

Jun 21, 2009 Not bad at all. I was expecting a variation on industrial lager with ale yeast. Not at all. To truly understand this beer I may have to delve into the world of high end sake. The rice is a totally new flavor and is more complex than just your average bowl of stick white rice would leave you to believe. Fruity esters abound, as well as a certain astringent nature, I think brought about by its unfiltered state. Give it a try, and make sure to have more than one as the flavor continues to evolve with every sip.

Jun 20, 2009 12 oz bottle pale cloudy pour, The sweet rice undertone was a pleasant surprise, but overall the beer was thin, the aroma was flat and the flavor lingered with a hoppy biterness... more aftertaste than taste.

Jun 16, 2009 Pale and dull golden yellow with a large frothy white crown. Aroma of sweet malts, grains, grassy hops and mild spicy hops. Taste of grains, rice, grassy hops and semi-toasted malt. Over carbonated with a yawner of a crisp finish.

Jun 14, 2009 Nothing special here, a big letdown from my favorite Colorado brewer. Not much better than the mass-produced Miller or Busch products and with a pronounced fermented rice finish, this just isn’t very pleasing.
Fizzy and watery, there are some hints of a higher quality drink buried within. The head of tiny bubbles does a nice job of clinging.
Something different, for sure...but I think I’ll go back to my usual styles!

Jun 3, 2009 From a 12oz bottle at the Flying Saucer - this ale poured a pale gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma of lemon citrus and yeast. Watery, light hop, lemon and grass taste - worked okay though as we were sitting outside and it was in the 90’s - so anything light and cold would have done the trick - not one I would drink regularly though.. just not enough substance to it.

Jun 1, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Westover Market in Arlington, VA that a friend picked up, we drank it 5/30/09
Aroma: Sweet fruits, rice, and a little lemon
Appearance: Poured a hazy yellowish color into a beer mug
Flavor: Wasn’t a big fan, call it fruity sweet rice malts with some corn
Palate: Light, a little astringent
Overall Impression:
I wasn’t a big fan, it just didn’t really taste so great. It grew on me a little, but still didn’t think it was so great. Maybe it just wasn’t my thing, my buddy I was drinking with seemed to like it a lot more then me...
