On tap at the brewpub. It pours a clear pale yellow with a thin white head and wispy lace. The nose is a clean, pleasant citrus and light grain. Light-bodied and mildly grainy with a tight bitter finish. Light, grainy malt with a solid grassy/earthy hop backing; fairly bitter with a residual light grain aftertaste. This isn’t bad.

Pitcher @ brewpub, shared with some folks after a softball game (I feel like a real American now, first Kansas, then softball, and now actually wanting to drink a beer made with rice). Clear glowing straw color. Lightly sweet but clean flavor and aroma. It is interesting even though completely simple. Does not have that white bread maltiness, something a little different, I guess that is rice. Has a pretty full mouthfeel actually.
