ight Rajah is a light and refreshing take on our classic West Coast-style IPA. Bursting with citrus flavors, this brew delivers a balanced bitterness with a crisp, clean finish, and light hop load.

This really surprised me. I have favored White Rajah lately - at a Guardians game and a 6er that disappeared instantly. I needed a quick variety - the Rajah pack, with this light. One can was crushed so I took that one for the team (it was fine).
It pours like an IPA, with delicate lacing and a light head. The aroma is subdued and cleaner than I would prefer. The taste is right in the pocket. Not very sweet and not too bitter. It is a light bodied brew, but it is tasty enough that I would prefer this over most light brews.
Recommended. It may be a bit thin for some days. Most. But it's a great light ale.

I’m afraid I cannot express how bad this is. Color is ok about what you expect in a 4.2% beer. Like a light lager. Smell is barely there but you do know it is an IPA. But the taste is awful!! A hint of bitterness with the first sip and then it fades to an unpleasant dankness. The only reason I could finish it was because it was so watery. The closest beer I can relate this to is Genesee NA a horrible beer but much better than this. It is a crime to put the Rajah name on a beer so bad. If this is what we expect from the new Brew Kettle owners they are doomed.

Clear pale gold with a moderately short off-white head of airy foam bubbles.
This is perfectly expressive of an evergreen-allium bite while not overpowering its tasty toasty malt backbone that isn't shy to exist in a world of joose boys. A bit of orange flesh crops up as it warms.
The medium-light body is zippy and finishes semi-dry.
This is that crisp shit that made me fall in love with the original Rajah.
