Bottled. An unclear pinkish orange beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet fruity especially peaches, but also some red berries and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of red currant, peaches, and caramel with a slight of acidity.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a hazy, pinkisk with a small, white head. Lightly tart, berry-like aroma. Medium body, sweet’n’sour berry accents. No real bitterness. Unusual. 090507

33 cL bottle. Pours hay orange with a creamy and off-white head. Yeasty, caramel and mild fruity aroma. Light liqourice/spice note to a creamy and caramelish base flavour with a light belgian yeast touch, quite nice if it wasn’t for a mild rubber-like note following before and slight into the finish. Either it is the red rice or this one has a mild infection too. Certainly drinkable though.

Botted. Hazy golden. Acidic rice and toffee nose. Malty with notes of cookies and nuts. Oily finish. Unusual, complex and interesting.

Hazy light amber; great nutty aroma (i guess that's the red rice) with evaporated milk and soap nuances, neither of which is unpleasant in the slightest. Hint of phenols detected. Unique nutty, slightly fruity (lemon, longan, rambutan) palate with almond skin notes appearing late. Light, appetizing finish. 8.5%?? Are you sure? Wins points for uniqueness.

(33cl bottle) Huge white foam dissipates to more tolerable levels fairly quickly, revealing a hazy apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, spicy, some funk, strawberry, light milk, watermelon. Taste is mild sweet, lemon sour, some strawberry, light milk. Light-medium body, somewhat acidic, alcohol very well hidden.

11.2oz (330ml) bottle. Poured a medium and hazy goledn color with an averaged sized white head. What is that aroma and taste. I know I know it but I can’t nail it down 100%. I’m thinking red rice vinegar, but the name may be throwing me off. Could also be strawberry lemonade or olive juice. Definitely has a light sour and tart finish (I’d call it a sweet then sour). There’s also some flowers, wood, and citrus in there. Very different. I enjoyed the experience.
