Technically yes. You can make it from rice. I have never had any of it so I don't know how good it would be.

Beer is one of the oldest[1][2][3] and most widely consumed[4] alcoholic drinks in the world, and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea.[5] It is produced by the brewing and fermentation of starches, mainly derived from cereal grains—most commonly from malted barley, though wheat, maize (corn), rice, and oats are also used.

“Without hops is it beer?”

Maybe or maybe not. Would be my answer.

It was without hops for the first 9000 years. Hops started being added to beer about 1100 A.D. before that the most common additive was a mixture of spices called gruit.
