Good try, but not enough body and flavour for the money, given it is only 3.7%.

440ml can. Pours a near opaque deep brown with a small & short lived tan head. Aroma is black rice, a hint of hops and some dark roast malt (which must be the barley or rice as there is no malt). Beer is light like a lager which is weird when it looks like a Porter, off dry & with decent depth of flavour.
I like black rice but if you are looking for a bitter, hoppy lager then look elsewhere.
Different & good.
