Bottle. Average off-white fizzy head that mostly diminished. Spar lacing. Hazy red colour with particles in flow. Aroma was light rice, floral, berries and fruit notes. Light bodied with an average carbonation. Flavour was light sweet. Finish was sweet.

Proof that federal noxious weeds have some purpose in society but also proof that there is good reason that they are on a list of undesireable plants for human consumption. The fruity nose was about the only highlight that this drainpour had.

What a singularly odd beer. First of all, it was red, verging on pink, with ever-so-slightly pink head. Aroma was rice, I guess, ginge, canned peas - at least, that’s what I could pick out. Flavor was, um, a little of this, a little of that - rice and ginger, an odd tartness, some vegetal, some herbal. Weird beer.

This is a nice effort by the brewery. I love the deep red color and the head is quite thick. I sense a nice hint of rice in the palate that blends nicely into a bitter finish.

This beer was weird. Not in a bad way; it was just very different. The red rice flavor wasn’t anything that I’m used to. It was a very interesting thing to try, but there are plenty of other beers I’d rather drink, and I don’t think I’ll ever buy it again.

720 ml bottle
Aroma: nice & musty hops, sourish...incredibly good...like a good vienna with birdcherry, slightly chemical...alcohol...slightly balsam vinegar-like.
Appearance: orange pink & clear w/ vaguely rosetinted white head.
Flavour: wonderfully balanced, toasted, nutty sweet, mild pears, a sourish bitterness...dry aftertaste, slightly vinous...vienna.
Palate: champagne, dry and fantastic, leaves a smooth feeling in the mouth.
The last glass is thick, red like a kriek, light pink head, sweeter and berrier.
