Great Divide Samurai Rice Ale

American Blonde Ale

Great Divide, Denver, Colorado, USA

I RATE THIS BEER: 89

RELEASE: Year Round // THE ABV. 5.1% | IBU’s. ? // THE NOSE: Tuna Salad Sandwich, Rabbit Poop, Wet Leaves, Celery, Lemongrass, Shallot // THE TASTE: Japanese Sticky Rice, Raw White Onion, Radish, Avocado, White Grape Juice // THE BOTTOMLINE: Funky, fishy and unfiltered, this ale is a pungent pickle jar of tart unfolding crunchy vegetable and unusual warm cooked rice flavors. Distinctive and yes, odd, odd enough to make it a must taste for those of a hardcore experimental tongue - you know who you are! Everyone else, well you should try it too. // THE BACKBONE: Rice // PRICE POINT: $12 | 6x 12oz bottles //
