Can kindly shared by Cuso. Thin body, big foaming, but quickly disappearing head, also rather low carbonation. Med-high sweetness, candyish, caramelly, pretty plain feeling. Some of it is probably oxidation. Light bitterness. Quite watery, neutral. It would feel quite average among macros, but plain bad among minis. I am not sure what the intent with rice was here, but feels like it went sideways.

Can from a friend, many thanks. Unclear amber golden color with huge persistent white head. Aroma of rice and grain, yeast, oxidation. Taste is sweet with rice, grain, yeast, oxidation, fruity esters, light spicy notes. OK.

Didnt have high hopes, but the body was malt forward with some caramel and bread notes, though I found the hop character was a bit stronger than I like. Still nice mouth feel. Not amazing depth, but good enough. Overall perfectly acceptable.

Can courtesy of a co-worker shared. Thanks Kenta. Pours a clear gold with a finger of white foam. Malty nose with honey, bread and light mineral notes. Leans sweeter on the palate with more honey and malt notes. Light caramel and honey towards the finish.

Bottle. Aroma is bit sweet, some grain. Lightly floury, quite dry, small hoppiness, little bit of sweetness again. Not so exciting.

Bottle. Light caramel, not much else. Little bit sweet, touch of malt. Bit fizzy, and not offensive, but not really very interesting. Light spice, but not much there really. Aroma very weak. Right at the end, light chocolate.

Bottle. Dry and crisp, little bite of bitterness, bit of citrus maybe. Finish is grainy. Tastes a bit like sweets, tooty frooties. Not bad.
