Canned on 1/16/2019. Poured into a Willi Becher glass. It pours a hazy, golden-yellow color with a thin, bright white head and creamy film of lacing. The nose is mostly grainy (which I assume is rice) with whiffs of lemon and spice. The taste opens with a nice balance of tart lemon and rice sweetness. At mid-sip there is a nice hoppy spice presence. It finishes with a blend of sweet and sour. The mouth feel is lite and crisp with lively carbonation, and it's easy to drink at 6% ABV. Overall, this is a nice local example of the style and it drinks easily on a hot summer afternoon. It's a shame I don't have some sushi with which to pair it.
