TimE (1031), Tokyo, Japan Jul 22, 2006 Very dark amber color, that with a bit of red tinge could look more like a Belgian Red. Pours a decent head. Cotton candy in the nose, but the sweetness of the cornstrach really dominates as well. I am not looking forward to the first sip. Not bad some crystal malt flavors hitting the back of the tounge. Very carbonated. Caramel, buscuit, but also sweet corn flavors. Mouth is very malt and the finish is relatively smooth, malty and dry with a lingering sweet mouth feel. Interestingly enough the ingedients in order are malt, rice (locally grown near the brewery), cornstarch and hops. For a beer with such crappy ingredients this does alright.
