Barrel-Aged Lagerbier
Carolina Gold rice is an heirloom rice variety, with its origins in the South tracing back to the 1600s when merchant ships from Madagascar traded its loads of rice to pay for ship repairs in Charleston, South Carolina. In the early 1900's Carolina Gold rice production all but ceased in the Carolinas due to hurricanes and commodity farming becoming more popular and profitable. The Tidewater Grain Company (Oriental, NC) reintroduced Carolina Gold rice back in Eastern North Carolina after nearly 120-year hiatus. Brewed with 30% Carolina Gold Rice, a six step cereal mash plus single decoction to maximize the heirloom rice and drinkability. Hopped with Strisselspalt from the Alsace region of France.

Can shared by Adam at Your Old Droog Cellar Blast. Pours a clearish straw gold with a full two fingers of white, creamy foam that lingers. Lovely notes of rice, straw and mineral with a touch of vanilla. Smooth finish but crispy on the edges. Balanced finish with mineral and rice with a slightly creamy texture under the crisp lager mouthfeel. Very nice.

Crisp and bright, but not as clean as most rice lagers thanks to a mild oak funkiness on the back end. Offers up notes of sweet grain, cut hay, apple, and yeast, with a spicy-floral hop bite on the finish. Enjoyable lager, just missing a decent nose.
