Listed as Buffalo Butt. Large, lightbrown head that fizzes away quickly. Clear breown body. Basic, sweet, cereal malt aroma with some honey and spices. Watery, nutty, the salty taste. Pretty fizzy. Talked to the brewers at Rahr, Red and Buffalo Butt are the EXACT same beers, there is no difference, end of debate.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of KAggie97. Pour is clear amber-copper with visible carbonation and a nice one inch off white head. Aroma of nice earthy spiciness and some sweetness. Taste has some sharp sweetness initially, that transitions smoothly into a drinkable thin palate and a clean finish. Some nice spicy hoppiness and earthiness throughout. On the label, this is called both a Lager and an Ale, so I am little bit confused, but regardless, nice drinkable beer.

Thanks legion. The beer pours with a deep, thick yellow and absolutely no clarity. It is beautifully looking especially with the sticky lacing on the glass. The aroma first starts with light bubblegum then a sweet milky banana. There is also a nice citric lemon surrounding the beer. Taste is watered down on all the sweet characteristics, has a very light-citric biscuit and faint tartness at the back of the flavor. Very quaffable beer without being watery and has a strong carbonation to go with the citric aspect. What sets this apart is the airy lightness that gives it a definite American feel to a classic Hefe.
12oz bottle, Grolsch short flute-like glass.

Draught at Cricket’s Grill, Waco
In December it was available in many pubs around Texas, probably a re-edition of the Yellow Rose Buffalo Butt; more than one bartender confirmed that the beer came from Rahr
Light amber color. It seems to be a reasonable beer (an Ale probably, smooth and with a delicate malt taste), but spoiled by a light medicine aftertaste.

Hazy amber color. Aroma of simple Lager. The flavor is not much better, with just a touch of caramel.

Cloudy dark amber color. Nice aroma, with some malt, roasted malt, caramel, toffee. Good body structure, with a good mix of malt and caramel. Enough bitterness, but it would really need a more aromatic hopping. Anyway, the most interesting here.

Muddy blond color. Classic aroma of wheat with light banana. The flavor is ordinary, less interesting than the aroma, weak. The hop infusion was a bit too long.

Hazy golden color. Some aroma of malt, with a light yeast fruitness. The flavor is not special, with enough malt and an ok hop, but at least the body structure is satisfying.

Blond color. Aroma of cheap lager. The flavor is very simple, with a light malty crispness, dry. The bitterness is medium-high, but the final is very weak.

Not much going on here - kind of tastes like roasted nut submerged in a glass of water - quite drinkable, but so is bud light - rather uninteresting.
