Bonsai Rice Ale
Cannery Brewing Company

Slightly hazy yellow-straw color. Not a very big head, but it was persistent. High flow of small bubbles from the bottom of the glass kept the head replenished. No lacing.

Smelled quite hoppy, mid way between a floral and a vegetable hop scent. Swirling the glass kicked up a touch of a sweet, light malt and a very light barnyard.

Rich, but not strong hop flavor; somewhat tea-like. Medium-light bitter. The malt and yeast part of the flavor blend are very light and delicate, acting more as a stage for the hops. Very slightly sweet. Aftertaste is dominated by medium bitter hops.

Very light tongue tingling. Foams up from fine to large bubbles quickly. Left my tongue feeling warm after swallowing.

I can't tell what the style is supposed to be. It is too gentle for a typical strong ale and too hoppy to be a pilsner. Without the hops this would have been a light, sparkling sake with the mild sweet malt. Very interesting.

Poured from a 473ml can. Last year was only on tap.
A: Pours a light golden with a foamy head with lots of bubbles.
S: A very lite nose some bread yeast notes.
T: Very dry heading towards a Brut style in my opinion ,pilsner like.
F: light body tons of carbonation.
O: A so so beer. Super cool art work on the can.
