Sam: Awright, guys, now you're pissin' me off. You've got a golden opportunity to put Ft. Worth on the beer map, and you're screwin' it up. I've had the golden lager, the red lager, and the schwarzbier so far. The red was the only thing I'd buy again. When I saw this on the shelf, I took the plunge, even though I was feeling a little snakebit about your beers. Well, color me bitten again. This is really malt liquor, isn't it? I mean, c'mon, really. Yellow (wrong color), fizzy, smells like alcohol. Tastes like corn squeezin's with fizz. You guys copied Abita's Andygator recipe, didn't you? I am really, REALLY hoping this was just old (bocks are spring beers), but right now, after being burned by most of what you've got to offer, I'M feeling like the goat (Get it? Get it? Ah, bite me).

Sam: Okay, maybe I shouldn't have been so hard on Rahr's schwarzbier, because the red's pretty nice. It too is a lager, by the way. Malty nose, pleasing amber color. pleasant malty flavor, maybe could use a tad more hops. Still, I'm finally getting somewhere with a Rahr beer. I really hope this company keeps tweaking it's recipe and gets it right so's they stay around; Texas can use as many local beers as it can get. (9/2/2006)

Sam: Black. Acidic. Metallic. Yuck. I've had several schwarzbiers, all of which were head-and-shoulders better than this. The cute little story about how this beer got its name does not in any way make up for my disappointment in the flavor. Don't waste your money unless you're a label collector. (8/26/2006)
