Jun 20, 2008 Advertised as a rice beer, I was a little leary from the start. It had a medium mouthfeel and a yeasty and spicy banana flavor. Not as good as the other Great Divides that I have had.

Jun 19, 2008 2008-06-24. Hazy pastel yellow body, modest white head. Odd aroma, lightly musty grains, presumably its the rice I’m noticing but I wouldn’t have pegged it as such without the label on the bottle. Similar flavour with modest character of dusty grains and cereals, not bad just a little askew. Average palate. Bit dull. Bottle from Mabel’s Seattle trip.

Jun 18, 2008 Tried on 2 different occasions from two different barrels...not a fan. Pale golden with thin head. Very light aroma, maybe a hint of sour fruit. Malty sweet, note of apricot fruit. Rice / fruit mix did not work for me. Dry, boring palate. Did not finish either pint.

Jun 16, 2008 Bottle. Hazy light gold color with a so-so white head. Aroma is primarily citrus. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is something like gooey steamed rice with citrus and bitter. Rather crisp and refreshing. Finish is nicely bitter. A different kind of thing. Pretty good result for use of adjunct.

Jun 15, 2008 on tap at some dipping restaurant in Colorado. Yellow hazy pour with minimal white head. It has soft and unoffensive flavors - light citrus at first and subtle hop finish. This beer is refreshing and highly drinkable.

Jun 12, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours cloudy yellow. Thin white foamy head. Aroma is of toasted rice. It smells lke a milky sake. Such an odd aroma. It smells toasted but the appearance is so light. Full flavored, for a golden ale. Flavor has a rich malt character, followed by the nuttiness of a fresh pot of steamed rice. Continues with an earthy spiciness. Finishes surprisingly hoppy. Light bodied. Very unique and enjoyable.

Jun 7, 2008 Sampled in a 12oz bottle. Pours cloudy yellow with a thin lacey head. Flavor is plentiful for a blond ale however it doesn’t have a nice after taste, perhaps due to hops. Not sure if I could consume more than 2 of these, which is unusual for a blond.

Jun 6, 2008 Pours cloudy gold with a large white head, good amount of lacing. Aroma is herbal.
Tatses slightly sweet followed by a fairly strong, bitter hop flavor. Probably too hoppy for the style but made for an interesting beer.
