16 oz can from the Dojo.Golden pour kicking up a foamy head. A lot of bits floating around in the glass, like an unfiltered Bell's. The nose throws out some nice cinnamon and a bit of vanilla. Catching some clear horchata in the taste. I might have thought any rice would ferment out, but the flavor is there, perhaps aided by lactose. Still some malt and a slight hop at the sides of the palate. Enjoyable summer quaff. Don't know how horchata is supposed to team with Mexican food, frankly, but I'd suggest it as a compliment to any spicy or meaty food.

Can. A- Rice, grains, cream, mild spice. A- Gold color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Rice, cream, faintest spice. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- Nice attempt but a very weak and subtle flavor. Really needs cranked up and a lot more vanilla and cinnamon.
