Reddish colour, small steady pinkish head. Aroma is generic dry, ricey. Light-bodied. Malts, some rice notes, light herbal notes with shallow bitterness. Some sweet notes but dry finish. Drinkable.

While pouring out of the can the liquid is lavender but in the glass it's a purplish tinged amber. Interesting aromas of malt, tree bark and some other odd thing that I can't identify but must be the purple rice. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose but losing the tree bark. More sweet than bitter with okay carbonation. More body than other rice lagers. Fun novelty thing to try once but I wouldn't be looking for another.

Can from Tavour. Pours amber with a large creamy light tan or beige head. Aroma is ricey/malty. Near med body. Flavor has citrus, but a supporting thing that clearly is not very malty. So purple rice. Some citrus and wood notes. Very interesting.

Pint Can. Pours a reddish copper color with a monster off white head that has fair retention. The aroma is herbs and a bit of pepper. The taste is soft grains, rice and mildly bitter herbs. The palate is light and oily. Finishes long and a bit sticky with lingering pepper. Overall: Decent

Draught Deep copper beer under a medium white head. Indeed... rice/ricewater, biscuit, cake, smelling dry. Dry leafy, rice-y flavours, demure but nice. Light body, bit slick as... ricewater indeed. As said, demure, but really pleasing. Served by the man himself!

Clear amber beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very malty, rural impression, cow fodder, wet grains. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very malty, grains, hay, cow fodder. Aftertaste: bitter, hay, grassy, a little herbal, spicy touch. Not a bit fan.

Draft @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2022.
Couleur léger cuivre (venant de la couleur du riz?), col blanc-cassé.
Arôme est discret avec un bouquet sur une bonne base de malt/pils, rétro modéré de riz sans pour cela sombrer dans le style lager africaine (usant souvent une grosse part de riz) - rétro fruité entre agrumes et délicate note de fruit rouge, venant du riz?) - houblonné noble
Palais est léger malté pils assez classique, l'apport de riz donne une certaine rondeur en bouche, note houblonné noble pour un fini finement fleuri et fruité/agrumes délicats - le passage en foudre n'est pas vraiment perceptible.

On tap at the brewery. Pours deep purple. Grain, sulfur, peach, herbal. Medium body. A confusing experience but it tastes pretty solid.

At ETNYC Dumbo: pours purple with pinkish head. Aroma is rice, dough, honey, hint of fruitiness. Fairly bitter with a doughy sweetness. Solid.
