| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 16, 2007 Hazy pale yellow, creamy head.aroma is very slightly sweet, and a little ricey. Metallic slightly fruity flavor. I expected more form this one. Sort of reminds me of Budweiser, probably because of the rice used. aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 3, 2007 The 12 ounce bottle poured a slightly hazy golden yellow beverage with a small fizzy head that was mostly diminishing but left some lacing on the glass. The aroma had a hint of sour citrus fruitiness accompanied by an earthy mustiness. The body was medium with lively carbonation and a watery, astringent texture. The flavor starts out lightly sour and then, as it ages on the palate it takes on more of a light bitterness. At the end of the medium-long finish there is just a bit of alcohol warmth as well. keith0718 (159), Olathe, Kansas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Decent beer. Would work as a bridge to better beers. The rice makes it taste like Bud’s cousin, albeit a much better tasting cousin. Gregis (1132), Shawnee, Kansas, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Sep 1, 2007 Pours a hazy yellow with lots of rising bubbles and a dense frothy white head. The aroma is of rice, simple syrup and lightly fruity hops. Light and effervescent it finishes, crisp and fairly metallic. The flavor is of rice with a mild honey backing and a metallic finish/aftertaste. While I certainly prefer this to other rice beers that I’ve had, notably Hitachino’s Red Rice, I’d much rather drink sake. Any beer that leaves me feeling like I’ve been sucking on a penny doesn’t leave me with warm feelings.
