Our latest collaboration with @pointybelbrew, Rice Rice Baby, is a clean and refreshing rice lager brewed with Riverbend Pilsner malt and jasmine rice. The rice lends a delicate floral aroma and a subtle sweetness that lightens the body while keeping the finish crisp and dry. Perle and Saaz hops add gentle spice and a touch of herbal character that complement the malt and rice without overpowering them. The result is a bright lager with notes of toasted baguette and fragrant jasmine blossom, culminating in a clean, refreshing close.
At 4.5% ABV, this lager shows that true complexity can be found in simplicity.
Rice Rice Baby is on tap now, and we`ll also be pouring it today, Sunday August 31, at the Cool & Crispy Festival at Point Ybel Brewing. Stop by and grab a glass!
