16 oz can from Total Wine. Pours a mostly clear light gold color with a white head and good retention. A few spots of lacing. Light pilsner malt aroma. Likewise, it has a light pilsner malt flavor with some other weird background flavor that doesn't improve the taste. Maybe that's the Japanese rice? Soft bitterness. Light body. Medium carbonation. It's not bad, but it's not better than a traditional pilsner.

Pint can via trade, thanks Arturo. No BB.
Dorée, col blanc.
Arôme sur un bouquet frais, malté pils, petite note de riz qui apporte une sensation d’onctuosité en rétro-nasal, léger houblonné fleuri en retrait.
Palais est léger, crisp, pils avec une sécheresse latente. Houblonné noble, fleuri pour une effervescence haute, fini avec une pointe herbacée, fleuri et une amertume qui colle bien au style de 'rice lager'. L'ajout de riz est subtile mais offre une petite note d’onctuosité en plus en bouche sans pour cela avoir le caractère du riz comme céréale de substitution qui se retrouve dans les pale lagers africaines.
