From the label“Label states 'BLACK RICE ALE' as the product name. The beer is brewed with black rice (an adjunct grain), which is a specialty ingredient. At 3.8% ABV, this is a light, sessionable ale. The name 'Black Rice' and the low ABV suggest a crisp, light ale rather than a dark beer despite the word 'black' — black rice is a grain ingredient, not a color descriptor for the beer style. The label provides no explicit style designation beyond 'ALE', and no descriptive copy. The TTB class is 902 ALE. Given the rice adjunct and light ABV, blonde_ale (a light, crisp American ale) is the most appropriate classification, though confidence is moderate due to the ambiguous 'black rice' naming and lack of explicit style copy.”
