Hitachino Nest - Red Rice Ale - Japan

An unusual beer brewed with the addition of red rice. It smells remarkably like Sochu (or Sake) but does taste like beer. I have seen photos of this ale looking a lot pinker than mine, so I don't know if the age and transport  have affected my bottle.

Smooth fruity tasting beer with a slightly different flavour. It does taste better than it smells.
