Rahr & Sons Blonde Lager

I’m not into the helles style, but this is bad as it goes. The faint citrus is a nice addition.

hazy straw pour with a huge white head! aroma of citrus, taste is sweet with a little citrus tang. heavy on the carb. i like it

Hazy golden pour that gained some clarity as it settled. The head was white and short with no lacing. The aroma was of wheat and citrus. The flavor was malt overrun quickly by tart citrus. Thin mouthfeel. The metallic, citrus flavor on the finish made me want to drink this fast and be done with it, so I did.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Ericandersnavy. Pours a cloudy dark yellow color with a small white head that soon fades to a fine film. The aroma is mild with white fruits and yeast. The flavor is light with mild pears, biscuit, yeast and a bit of cardboard. The mouthfeel is light and crisp. The finish is short and dry. Overall: a very sessionable helles style that goes down well on hot summer day while remodeling my bathroom. Thanks Eric.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow golden with a medium frothy white head that lasts awhile leaving behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is very fruity and yeast with citrus. Thin moutfeel with a very sweet fruit taste with a nice spicy finish. Easy to drink and very refreshing, a very good Helles from Rahr.

I give this beer high marks for doing a great job of tasting very much like the true German helles. Reminds me of the Shiner 99 which is also a Texas born helles style brew. Good beer for drinking sessions. Try this one if you have the occasion.

Bottle. Bottle. Almost no head. Clear gold body. Smells of dust and corn which was reciprocated by the taste.

Fairly weak scent and weak taste. Watery and lacking in the taste department.
