I have a 12 oz can that came from the Total Wine on Hulen in Ft. Worth about a month ago. Beers from the brewery used to be available locally but not for many years. Time to see what R&S does with an IPA. I have a snifter obtained at Cowtown Brewing across town from Rahr in place for the tasting. I see an amber-gold liquid body carrying a completely white cover of foam. The nose is pleasant with citrus, hops, a bit of tropical and bit-of-honey. I have to say the taste is less pleasing to me than the scent but that does not mean I don't like it. Grapefruit, white bread, orange rind, malt, honeydew and cardboard. A bit sweet and decently bitter, good combination. A substantial sensation while drinking, another positive. By the moderately high ABV, one would assume this to be an imperial IPA but I see Double or Imperial nowhere on the label. And I assume by the name that this brew uses Amarillo hops totally or somewhat but I cannot find evidence of that on the internet or on the can. A little provided info can be a good thing.
