Vilain Pitou notre lager de riz ! Elle est brassée avec une bonne proportion de riz mais avec une touche originale au niveau des houblons utilisés. Nous avons brassé cette bière avec le houblon noble allemand Hallertau Mittelfruh et le houblon néo-zélandais Riwaka cette fois sous forme de Sub Zero Hop Kief. Ces houblons forment ainsi une symphonie aux notes d'herbes séchées , de citron, de fruit de la passion et une touche de sésame. Le corps de cette bière est mince grâce à l'ajout de riz et la finale est sèche et bien houblonnée.

473mL can. Pours clear pale yellow with white head. Aroma has vegetables, straw, and wheaty malts. Flavour has pale malts, sweet potato, damp straw. Mild carbonation. Not the sexiest beer out there, but it's okay.

473mL can, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has dry cereal malts and maybe the subtlest of hop tang. Flavour is clean, with cereal malts, straw, and a tiny hint of citrus. Not much going on here, but it's clean and drinkable enough. Decent.

A very slight hazed, very light yellow colour with a big, frothy-creamy white cap, good retention and lots of thick soapy lacing. Quite an interesting smell, with some graininess, rice, yeast and hints of grapes. The taste continues with a weird, but working blend of things. A touch of sourness, vinous and special grains, yeast. It has that wet sock feel, but that works very well here. A fairly dry finish and the mouthfeel is refreshing. A very nice, interesting rice lager that works.

Can: Poured a clear yellow color lager with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of clean cereal notes with some herbal dry hops notes. Taste is also a mix of clean cereal notes with faint residual sugar notes and some dry hoppy floral hops notes with faint tropical flavor. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Well made lager with good drinkability but NZ hops are not as present as expected.
