beer_name: Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale
text: Appearance: The pour is fiery orange with a large white head that has good retention for the first half of the glass until it fades into tiny ring. Smell: The nose is muted, except for the sharp spicy aroma that soon fades, and very green. Notes of sour yeast, and citrus hops are also present. Taste: This has everything in from the aroma and there is an herbal rice flavor much like sake. It's almost interesting, but it falls a bit short. Mouthfeel: The carbonation is lively at first, but it turns a bit still and aqueous. Drinkability: This is a fairly unique brew, but I don't think I'll be buying more anytime soon.
