| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 24, 2008 I had no idea that they had changed the name. I used to drink this as "james page wild rice lager" I thought they had stopped brewin it. THAT WAS 13Y AGO! I am running out tomorrow and buying some! When I first became a beer snob i drank my weight in this stuff weekly. All i remember was being able to taste the wild rice, and a real smooth, slightly bitter finish. Great, now i am getting all misty. gws57 (1137), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 24, 2006 Had this one bottled. Light orange pour with a filmy white head, nose of sweet bread, notes of baked bread, hops and orange. Not bad. JohnnyOS (646), Golden, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 27, 2006 Pours a golden orange color with light white head. Aroma of bready grains and light caramel malts. You can definitely taste the wild rice. Interesting brew. Different enough to purchase again... and probably again. lamas (716), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 11, 2005 Bottle courtesy of CharlesDarwin. An orange pour with a thin and fizzy light-tan head. A very unique aroma of freshly baked bread, vanilla extract and malts. The wild rice smell really shows up as it warms. Smooth, sweet stuff. Quite doughy. A little herbal with hints of anise. Unique stuff all the way. shorn (6), USA does not count | 0.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | Oct 13, 2005 beer I had while in Minnesota.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 26, 2005 Bottle, Cold Springs Brewery. Dark golden color with a smaller diminishing yellowish (similar to a ages piece of paper) colored head. Toasted white bread aromas along with some light caramel and a hint of light floral hops. Really has a wild rice quality. Lightly sweet wild rice flavors mix with mild rose and lavender. A sweeter lager. A mild bitter linger helps ensure that his does get to sweet. A novel brew. Let see if Point does anything with this one. Thanks CharlesDarwin. CharlesDarwin (1841), Point Judith, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 10, 2005 Nice amber hued gold, with a nice line of white crisp head. Effervescent. Sweet plain malt aroma, with a touch of grass. Flavor is pretty boring at first, of plain malt with the usual touch of hops. Ends with some caramel, more grass and a little saltiness. Not offensive, not amazing. Very drinkable and smooth. Palate is smooth and lightly sugary. TipsyMcStager (916), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Aug 4, 2005 Its hard to believe anyone would brew something this bad on purpose. I’m thinking I got a bad bottle. Terrible paint thinner and licorice aroma. Pours a nice copper brown. Terrible rubber aftertaste. I’m rating as-is with an open mind to try another sample.
