Oct 2, 2007 Pours a golden-yellow with a white head. Flowery, citrus aroma. For the split second before the hoppiness of the IPA kicks in... the German influence can be tasted. Perhaps that is the reason I don’t dislike this beer as much as I do most IPAs.
12 oz. bottle.

Sep 28, 2007 Truly a terrible brewery. Once again a nasty beer. Pours yellow orange color. When I smelled the nose it was like mint and garbage and old hops and skunk. Tastes totally unbalanced with a mishmash of hops and malt. A real mess of a beer. I wont be touring this facility any time soon!

Sep 25, 2007 12oz bottle acquired in trade with bu11zeye (thanks!). Poured a medium orangish color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grass, earthy, and some citrus. Tastes of grass and citric oranges.

Sep 14, 2007 Pours a nice clear light golden color with a very sticky thick white head- good lace as well. Aroma is nicely hoppy- citrus, pine and grassy. Light pils and cereal malts, with a grassy light citrus flavor, and light on the bittering hops. Easy to drink and nice for a lighter IPA. Ok.

Sep 11, 2007 Interesting brew. A very nice smooth maltiness is lended by the german grains used in this one. A nice floral nose but with a slight metallic smell, and crisp but smooth body make this a very drinkable IPA, and my favorite offering from Rahr.

Sep 10, 2007 Pours golden yellow with barely any head. Aroma is traditional IPA, but not as strong as typical. More like a pale ale. Barely any malt. Bitterness is nice, but rather astringent and thin. Like others, I don’t know what a "German" IPA is. This one is good, but nontraditional.

Aug 24, 2007 Bottle.
Pours average orange witha weak head of straw, retarded hops, and retired orange. Absolutely nothing impressive whatsoever in the nose; in fact, if the label didn’t say IPA, I’d fight to the death that this was a strong Pilsner. Flavor is glorified corn syrup, sour and watered-down grapefruit, and a hint of hops. Weak mouthfeel. I feel cheated.

Jul 16, 2007 Sweet name. Bit of a faint nose of honey and pine needles. Corn-like hop scent moreso than any citrus or grassy scent. Some tinny notes noticed, a bit moldy as well. Crisp mostly, a bit wet and oily, tinny hop flavor, but not very deep... kind of simple metallic faint honey and grass hops. Weak palate. They might want to put some good C-note hops in this thing, it would really be killer to drink draft, locally-made, dank IPA in the Texas summer I tells ya.
