New Favorite Reviewed: Rupee Basmati Rice Lager

The Basmati Rice Lager from Rupee Beer Company is truly exceptional. I’ve tried two beers from the Rupee brand, and both were first-pitch home runs. This brew is a clean and crisp delight that was so good, I drank it down fast. So, what does it taste like? A glass of excellence!

This lager hits all the right notes with a medium body and just the right amount of carbonation. It’s pleasant and easy to drink, resulting in a smooth, refreshing experience. The consistent flavors and light aroma make it incredibly satisfying, providing a pleasant drinking experience from start to finish.

Rupee’s Basmati Rice Lager was crafted by a world-renowned master beer brewer and an award-winning Indian chef to complement Indian, spicy, and global cuisines. Brewed at Dorchester Brewing Co. in Boston, Massachusetts, this lager adheres to traditional Indian recipes with lower carbonation, ensuring it’s delightful to drink and enjoy with any meal. With numerous awards and industry recognition, Rupee has made a name for itself as a top choice in ethnic beer, designed to enhance your dining experience.

If you’re seeking a smooth, refreshing lager that pairs beautifully with your favorite spicy dishes, Rupee’s Basmati Rice Lager is definitely worth a try. Cheers to a beer that not only quenches your thirst but also elevates your dining experience!

A 16-ounce can of Jack's Abby Ray Catcher beer for review as one of the most refreshing craft beers and rice lagers.

Like Sweet Sunshine: Ray Catcher by Jack’s Abby Brewing

Jack’s Abby Brewing’s craft rice lager, “Ray Catcher,” tastes like catching sunshine in a glass. It is both incredibly refreshing and surprisingly exciting. I had to resist the strong temptation of not putting the glass down and guzzling the whole 16 ounces before realizing that it would not be good for this taste review.

This brew makes a delightful first impression with its deep straw-gold appearance. The pour births a playful, frothy head that gradually subsides, mirroring the airy lightness intrinsic to this lager.

As Ray Catcher breathes, it unfolds an alluring aromatic narrative. Initially, the nose detects a subtle combination of spice and light fruit tones. The beer’s palate is an echo of its aroma, with a melody of flavors playing in perfect harmony. Beneath these bold strokes hides a trace of light fruitiness, whispering mysteries to your taste buds.

Despite its light-bodied nature, Ray Catcher possesses an impressive fullness of mouthfeel, thanks to the natural carbonation. This duality turns every sip into an experience; each taste is a fresh revelation that keeps you reaching for more.

Ray Catcher’s refreshingly crisp taste and clean finish are like precious rays of sunshine, meant to be caught, savored, and remembered. Light as a summer breeze yet deep with complexity, Ray Catcher is not just a beer but a liquid embodiment of the sun’s golden touch.
