In collaboration with Peter Zien's cousin Sam Zien, the cooking guy. Designed as an easy drinking rice lager made with Thai Hom Mali (Jasmine) rice that lends delicate and aromatic floral notes, this beer's clean and crisp notes makes it versatile for any cuisine whether it's rich, savory, spicy, or simple.

Pours a clear yellow with fine head.

Smell is light and floral, crisp with a hint of sweetness. Notes of jasmine, citrus and peach.

Taste is crackery and floral with a hint of sweetness. Crisp with a soft bitterness, note of Saltines, citrus, jasmine and peach.

Mouthfeel is medium and a bit smooth with good carbonation.

Overall, a refreshing lager, easy to drink.

"Best by 7/18/23"; drank 2/9/23 @ the Yarchives.

See-through yellow appearance.

A rough pour yielded a big, bright white head; frothy lace.

Dry corn & honeyed wheat notes in the nose.

Medium thin mouthfeel.

Sweet white rice & dry wheat flavors.

Sweet but dry; enjoyable.
