Straight from the mind of Brewmaster Rich Chapin, Wild Rice Ale is the latest limited edition offering from Empyrean Ales. There are some other wild rice ales out there, notably Schell's Wild Rice Saisson, but this is the first one that I tried. Wild Rice Ale is mild enough that even those new to craft beer would not find this off-putting; low hop profile, 4% ABV, smooth, nutty, grassy flavor, similar to a mild rye ale. I recommend getting yourself a glass or two before they run out.
