750ml bottle received in the latest with NittanyBeerFan--thanks again Dan...split with the fiancee

a-hazy golden copper color ...two finger fluffy white head that lingered for a while...tons of lacing and spotting....bubbles are present and acceptable

s-tons of pungent grapefruit and citrus....only does a little bitterness get through the ripe fruit aroma...a little must? or grain on the nose..maybe from the rice?? who knows...

t-starts off very grapefruit and and citrus..the bitterness kicks in and rides the whole way down...the middle presents the malt balance with a little graininess and that must...finshes on a fruity citrus hop kick with some substantial bitterness on the tongue..slight alcohol is detectable

m-resiny and sticky..you can tell this is a dipa....carbonation is present and spot on....but whoa on the alcohol burn on the way down...not to detracting though....

d-we will have no problem getting through the 750...

overall another solid brew sent my way from Dan....my first from Flying Fish and i would seek this out again although i dont think the wild rice really adds anything...

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle to a Poco Grande glass. Label stamped with a best by date of 09-07-13.

Crystal clear golden color with a fluffy white head, dissipated fairly quickly, but left some real nice lacing. Head returned easily with a little swirling of the glass.
Boom! The aroma is a beautiful! Tangerines, pineapples, pine, a little earthiness.
A great amount of hops in this beer. Bottle says the brewed this with 5 different types and dry hopped with Chinook and Citra, defiitely picking up on those. Simcoe is majorly prevalent in the taste, love it!
Love the dry finish and a nice amount of malts to round out the hop assault. Left me salivating for more and more! Very nice lingering hop presence well after the swallow. No sign of the 8.2% ABV.
Overall I think is another quality brew from Flying Fish! A very easy drinking DIPA that can surely get you in trouble quick if you aren't careful!

The rice description makes you think this beer might not taste so good. Is it going to taste like Saki? No, it is not. It is a very carbonated beer - I agree with another reviewer - it looks a lot like Coors Light after it is poured. Lots of bubbles.
What a surprise that this beer which costs less than $10 for a six pack taste this awesome. I didn't want to stop drinking it! Excellent taste. I will leave the description to more eloquent reviewers, but I love this beer. It's great beer if you want a light IPA. I guess it's light...what do I know.
