From 33cl bottle. Pours intense gold with slightly irregular white foam leaving quote a residue on the glass. Aroma is citrus and resinous, and honey when warmer. Body is dense and sticky. A bit of astringency but given by the quantity of bitter. Taste is intensely bitter, though with some honey sweetness coming up. Finish is long and bitter.

12 oz. bottle, pours a murky orange with a medium white head. Aroma smells quite sugary, with lots of caramel malt, candied sugar and resinous hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with caramel malt, candied sugar, and resinous hops. Not really any notice of the rice. Malt-heavy without being too cloying, and with a nice punchy resinous hop quality. Not top tier, but it's very good.

Mother Kelly’s. Keg. Lightly hazy amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Sweetish malts, some caramel and a very light touch of creamy toffee. Light spicy pine. Juicy resinous citrus and tropical fruits. More hop spice before a light finish. Bitter sticky tropical fruit linger. Nice one. But why is this a speciality grain?

Caña en el Lupulo 06..02..2016. (r67). Color ámbar anaranjado velado con espuma blanca. Aromas y sabores intensos cereales y toques afrutados todo ello acompañado de una fuerte sensación alcohólica con amargo final no muy intenso algo seco. Bastante buena.

Bottle from Craft Beer Cellar Westford Hazy deep yellow with a bubbly white head that lasts forever. Big grassy pine hop notes atop a bed of sweet caramel. Somewhat rustic earthy flavor with entirely too much sweet caramel malt for its own good. Pretty sure this bottle is older. Maybe its better fresh, but right now its too damn sweet.
