Lubiere (4463), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Mar 17, 2009 A lightly hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. A light fruity malt aroma. In mouth, a light bodied wheaty malt, grassy. On tap at brewery, 24 Jan. 2009. DrHomolka (725), Columbus, Ohio, USA Mar 11, 2009 12oz bottle, bottled Dec 16 08. Probably not as fresh as I’d like for this style but whatever. Pours hazy pale yellow with a sudsy white head. Aroma is very subtle. Notes of faint lemon and candy apparent but the overwhelming aroma is of nothing. Flavor is very light. Reminds me of rice pudding, the rice flavor definitely comes out. Certainly unique. I don’t know how to rate this beer. It is certainly unique and interesting but it doesn’t really do much else for me. joebudzjoe (222), Connecticut, USA Mar 10, 2009 Tap @ Monster B’s. Cloudy blond, definitely a unique taste. I couldn’t really taste much hop or malt flavor but I ended up with a nutmeg/cinnamon aftertaste. I wouldn’t recommend a six pack of this, but it’s worth a try for a true original. Pawola22 (676), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Mar 10, 2009 On tap at Great Divide’s tasting room in Denver. Pours a see-through, bright yellow body with a delicate, but thick white head that leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma of pale straw malts and subtle sharp grassy hops. Some peachy melon fruits. Kind of bland, but more sweet than bitter. Flavor is pretty heavily pale malt based with a bit of crisp honey. More of the fruity peach-melon combination. Touch of grass and straw feel in the finish. Palate is very crisp and light with a slight stringy feel. Overall, relatively boring IMO, but good for the style. Glad to have had on tap at the tasting room. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA Mar 5, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Incredibly smooth brew. Nose stings a bit, but is also kinda nice with some good malt presence and a hint of hops. Flavor is smooth as hell, with no nast biting aftertaste. Excellent example of the style. Even though it wasn’t that great, I still enjoyed it. altonbrownd (1862), Amsterdam, Netherlands Feb 24, 2009 Ryan/Casey’s. Straw yellow body with thin head. Corny, banana nose. Taste of hops, pine, honey. Rice taste midway through. Toasty and hoppy finish. Nice one! dirt55 (150), Washington, USA Feb 23, 2009 bottled, very light hop aroma, mildly citrus, pours beautifully with a nice medium cloudy yellow with huge bright white head, flavor of sweet malt with hint of alcohol, hop bitter up front and lasting through taste, light hop residual on palate, not bad at all thejon375 (390), Tampa, Florida, USA Feb 21, 2009 Somewhat offputting aroma. A little sweet taste. Toasted pinenut finsih. Good beer to start the night with.
