Rice Helles is a spin-off from our Kanpai Lager. We took the dry character from the rice in the Kanpai Lager and tweaked it to be more Pilsner-esque. In addition to the light malt flavors, there is a pleasant Noble European hop aroma, slightly floral and herbaceous. If you're looking for a refreshingly clean and pleasant brew, look no further!

Pours a murky, muddy blood-orange with a finger and a half of dense khaki-colored foam. Head retention is good. Aroma is grapefruit, pine, resiny, and grassy hops with minimal bready malts to tie it together. There is a twinge of wort to the finish of the beer after the hops fade. Flavor profile is grapefruit, pine, resiny, and grassy hops with a light flash of lemon drop towards the back. Bready malts throughout tie it together to firm it up. Mouth feel has a soft, consistent effervescence that keeps that drinking more as a soothing beer, vs. crisp. Thickness is medium. Overall, some flashy hops up front with good body behind to keep this drinking as a soothing, flavorful IPA, without the hop burn or alcohol of some others.

Served in a 15.5oz Speigalau tulip from a 12oz can.

Pours clear, amber in color with one third inch head. Taste is big pine and grapefruit. Bitter, medium light bodied with moderate carbonation. Makes for a solid west coast style ipa. Tastes like an average ipa which is a big step above the previous generation of non alcoholic beer but a pass for me based on the rest of the Pilot series. There are way better new generation non alcoholic ipas.
