Pine Box Rock Shop, Brooklyn tap: pours cloudy orange with a small head. Aroma is a bit of plum and some strange malts, which I suppose is due to the rice. Taste is sweet and not as plummy or plummiah as one would imagine. Easy drinking.

On tap. Pours a very cloudy/muddy tawny color with moderate head. Aromas of wet malts and rice. Flavors of bread crusts, more wet malts and muddled fruit. Plums? Not much of a fan. Seems a bit amateur for these guys.

Draft - Weird grains and a touch of plum. Dirty gold. Light sweet and tart notes, plum and a bit of grape. Squeaky.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out notes of vegetal and herbal notes, with grass and corn. Flavour brings a lot of the grassy and corn notes from the pilsner malt. I don't get anything from the plums or rice. Not sure they were going for, but it's pretty clean and tasty.

Draft 10 oz pour at the Horse Brass pub. Rating from notes. At the pub this was listed as a sour but I had my doubts. Pours a cloudy orange color with no head. Soft fruit, grainy, lotion like aroma. Minimal sour, mostly in the finish. Creamy body orange fruit. Unique sour for sure, but less my type of sour, if that’s even what it’s supposed to be. Fun beer to try. Not bad.

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours very hazy, slightly dirty gold with a slight white head. Aroma of fruit, but? Med body or nearly. Flavor is rather strange, I’m imagining a saki mouthfeel in a way. Plum is quite subdued, and I’m imagining saki heat (and this is 5%). It’s really quite decent, but it’s something I’m likely gonna be slow getting into. Plum gets a bit stronger with time.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a bright copper color with a medium white head. A fruity and grainy nose. The flavor comes across with rice, light fruit, light sourness, dry. Very interesting. Not getting a massive plum, but good.

Draught. It seemed to me to be a mess. Someone wanted to make a sake, someone wanted to make a plum wine and so they compromised and decided to make neither. Light plum aroma and taste edge to a rice-y body. Almost no finish. Pas op!
