Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: golden yellow transparent color with slow rising carbonation seen and a soft fluffy foamy white head which took it's time to dissipate then barely leave any lace.
Aroma: mild rice to slight lemony sweet tones - it's fairly quick and hard to really discern
Flavor: mostly sweet throughout meshing the rice with the lemony tones, finishes with the rice sweetness and lemon sweetness
Texture: light bodied, very sessionable; extremely clean and smooth across the tongue
Overall: though I've had very little experience with rice lagers, I like this one for me and I could see myself coming back to with some food. Pass the sushi, please? Sure, why not, right?

Can at home. Cloudy greenish gold and fine head. Nose is grainy and bready. Taste of bread crust, grains, lemon, candy. Chewy mouthfeel.

No date coding. Aroma shows sweet bread, rice husks. Flavor is sweet as expected. Rice, bread notes and has a lighter body. Crisp finish.

Pours gold into a Sam glass. Bright white soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Sweet fruity malt aromas. Crisp and dry with rice and earth front to back. Becomes cloying as it warms.
