Great Divide Samurai

On tap in GD tap room. Pours a hazy yellow with a small white head and a bit of lacings. Moderate sweetness with a light bitterness. Malty with a bit of breadyness. Also a hint of bog myrtle. Medium bodied. Lively carbonation. Dry finish.

12 oz bottle: Aroma is dry, rice wheat, and somewhat fruity with an almost strawberry scent going on there. Appearance is a cloudy lemonade looking pour with a medium sized fluddy white head that lingers. Taste is rice, fruit like strawberries, and a grainy note. Palate is dry on the tongue and aftertaste has a lingering dry sake like taste to it. Overall, It’s different and intersting to say the least. Worth a try at least once. Cheers!

12oz bottle from Lukas Liquors. Pours hazy light golden with fizzy white head. Aroma is grainy with rice and some light fruits. Flavor is grainy with light spices and rice. Nice attempt at japanese rice lager. Would be good with sushi.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellowish gold color. The nose contains a somewhat spicy aroma, grains, corn. Flavor is grains, hint of strawberries, light fruitiness. Mouth is pretty carbonated and somewhat dry.

(botte). Clear straw color. Medium white head. Light sweet aroma. Light grainy/rice flavor. Long duration. Dry finish. Slick texture. Soft carbonation. Spare lacing.

I thought a kolsch, maybe. Cloudy gold color. Light malt body with corn, rice, and surprisingly, some salt. This is very drinkable and there are no flaws, and it is certainly a few steps above a pale yellow lager.

Very pale yellow beer with a white head. Aroma is sour and fruity. Maybe it’s just me, but it called to mind rotting apricots and was very offputting. The beer itself was inoffensive, light, and refreshing. Slightly hoppy, but mostly the grain and rice flavor comes through. I’d like this a lot more without the poor aroma.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Light, somewhat fruity, interesting, and unique. This isn’t something I would want to drink all the time, but it’s definitely interesting and worth a try.
