Very tastey. It begins with a wierd red color. Sure the its a "REd rice ale", but really a full reddish pink beer? Almost looks like a raspberry wheat with more brown and less yellow. Nice billowing head. Aroma is a little like dirty socks, wheat grass, yeast, and deli meat. Wierd look, weird smell, what about hte taste? A lot of sake flavors. A lot of non-beer, but its good.

Nov 20, 2008 I found this to be an average session beer with a high alcohol content. I didn’t notice anything extraordinary about it, even with the use of the red rice

Oct 30, 2008 As I’ve noted many times before, I love the experience of trying traditional ales. Thus I rate this beer in that context. The aromaq had a very sour quality to it, with a strong contingent of rice. The appearance is a beautiful red color, small white head. The flavor had a very grainy quality to it, and was sour as well. The finish was dry, and again sour. Interesting, but I wouldn’t get it again.

Oct 25, 2008 Stubby bottle. Slightly hazy orange-amber color. Smells sweet/sour to me. Taste is somewhere among beer, sake, cider and wine spritzer, but ultimately closest to beer. Fruity, sweet and tangy with a grainy background. Spritzy carbonation and fairly crisp overall, but not too light.

Oct 23, 2008 Warm orange-honey with small off-white head. Fresh, slight lactic tartness bordering on Berliner weisse. Roasted brown rice, loquat rinds and lemon zest. Soft mouthfeel. Fun array of flavors! Lots of orange blossom and its zest with great yeast character.

Oct 22, 2008 Pours orange/pinkish, white head.
Aroma rice, fruity.
Taste rice notes, sugary, very different and unique taste with a mix of rice and floral hops.
Taste has an almost medicinal feel.
Not a top favorite, but really something different.
