When I first had this beer I was not a fan. It was the one beer from hitachino I did not like or even thought was remotely good enough to keep producing. After a second go around with this beer on the recommendation of my buddy Anand, I must now say that I'm a fan. This beer provided an excellent body and taste, with a wonderful nose. It was like drinking a whole different beer. Red Rice is definitely worth the price tag($5.49), so pick one up and give it a shot. Red Rice is an Ale beer brewed using red rice which was cultured in ancient times in Japan. It comes in at a 7 % abv and in a 11.2 oz bottle. Definitely enjoyed best out of a cold pint glass!
Color: This beer pours a very pale red and unfiltered. It creates a white one inch head that disappears slowly.
Nose: some tartness up front... most likely from the citrus in this beer. Also evident are some bread like scents and sweet malt.
Palate: soft,crisp, and light. very tasteful and complex. goes down easy and can't say enough how great it taste.
Finish: short but full of burst. sweetness and some light hops at he end. truly an achievement.
Notes: great everyday beer,but unless you can afford this beer on a daily basis stay away from it and just allow yourself one on the weekend. Great summer beer,but also does well year round
