Roasted aroma, but must less so in the flavor. Copper color and a huge, and very long lasting head. Lightly roasted grain but also a very light and airy palate. It is an expensive beer, for what it is, but not bad.

Bottle. Pours light gold with a soft, white head. Lightly sweet aroma with malts, citrus (lemon), and mild funk. Interesting flavor. Rice character is there, with some tart and salt notes, decent sweetness, crisp and clean finish. Light bodied and effervescent. Not bad.

Bottle. Pours with a very large lightly beige head over a clear golden yellow body. Musty and grainy with a distinct citric acid note. Caramelized rice and light metal. Brown sugar and oatmeal. Taste is bready and brown rice like, with a medium wine like note followed by baked brown sugar and oatmeal on the finish. A decent amount of acidity, but I wouldn’t call it sour, or even tart really. Very light coffee grounds. Medium carbonation and dry. Different.

A hazed dark amber ale with a thick resilient light moka head. A rather funky aroma of herbs, catnip, Brett, wild and pungeant. In mouth, a rather interesting wild malt, incense, cardamom, very perfumey. A gueuze without the lactic acid. Light and quaffable. Bottle shared with Probstk, bought at Federal Wine and Liquor, tasted July 29 2009.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Hazy amber color with a temporary beige head. The primary aroma reminds of Dutch tobacco. Near medium body with mild carbonation. Flavors waft away. Light malt. Something like kola. Extremely pleasant. Relatively light. A lot of presence. Sort of unsweet brown sugar. Unique describes it.

Aroma of Genmai cha--green tea with roasted rice in it. Really, smells and tastes like tea! Not very exciting on its own, although I suspect it might go really well with sashimi, yaki tori, and all kinds of Japanese foods.

Light amber color. Nose smells like brown rice and vegemite. Aussie vegans rejoice. Mildly sour brown rice and vegemite mouth, with little hops present. Dry finish. Not exciting, but for all a brown rice ale could be I think this did well.
