Glow
Rhinegeist Brewery

 

This is the beer I serve my friends who claim they don't like beer. Deliciously dangerous because one is not enough!

 

 

A very nice sour beer. The look is very close to a fruit punch. The taste is exactly as described and very refreshing. An excellent choice on a hot summer day

It's a great beer. If you love sours this may be a little underwhelming but it hits the spot pretty much every time and where I live I can go into basically any gas station and grab a six-pack of these. Super crisp, super dependable, and pretty damn good.

Snifter. Got a lot of these cans from my brother.
L - Pours a clear rose pink color with a short pink fizzy head that dissipates quickly with no lacing.
S - Can't smell much but faint whiffs of pear?
T - Likewise I can't taste much either. As a sour buff, this is on the low end, not even a sour for me. Not horrible but, it has a watered down cucumber
F - Has a lot of carbonation and it quite bubbly and effervescent, doesn't go well with the lack of flavor.
O - It's probably because I drink sours daily but this was a meh to me. I have a bunch of these and I've been mixing with other beers to create mad scientist concoctions. I didn't pay for these and I wouldn't. I wouldn't turn these down if offered again but also would not seek them out.

Purchased as a single 12oz can from Kroger for $1.69. Poured into a tulip glass.

L - Muted rose and clear with a one-finger bright white fizzy head that dissipates quickly.
S - Papaya, prickly pear, and passionfruit are present. While I can definitely tell it's a sour, it doesn't smell sour.
T - Peach, nectarine, and passionfruit. Little notes of açaí and rolled oat back a clean sourness. The finish is clean, with the aftertaste of sour plum and apple peel.
F - Clean, refined. Medium-light body, with light "champagne-like" carbonation, but still very fizzy. Very easy to drink.
O - What a wonderful summer/spring beer! Fruit notes aplenty with a sour vibe that isn't up in your face. Very bubbly - you'll be burping quite a bit with this one! Light, clean, and easy to drink. Didn't even realize this had alcohol in it! Highly recommend! Will purchase again if I see it again!

Pours a clear yellowish pink color with a finger of short lived white head.
Tangy aroma of tropical fruit.
This is pretty low on the sourness scale. Flavor of fresh berries and general fruitiness. This is clean crisp and refreshing.
Very enjoyable fruity beverage. Not super complex but a nice easy drinker.

 

 

 

 

 

As I get into Sours it hard to find ones that distinguish themselves ... This is quite nice, but not "special" ... Very subtle and easy to drink ... This will be a nice summer sipper

Bright with tropical fruits of prickly pear, acai and passionfruit, Rhinegeist is leading the way through life with this little light at the end of the tunnel.

A soft glow emit from a light cloudy straw appearance as the sour ale floats a light and soapy froth. The standard cidery, winey and tangy scent of sourness comes with additions of tropical fruit and a brisk scent of the sea. A light and candied sweetness appears to the palate as sweetheart types of candy, powdered sugar, agave and honeysuckle.

But the fruitiness of green apple, lime, lemon, white grape and play out in a tart but off-sour character while the overlay of prickly pear, acai and passionfruit await. Their cast of flavors come timidly with only a complement to the underlying fruitiness of the sour ale while a late taste of light citrus peel bitterness, wine spritzer and dry burlap carry a mild mannered balance.

Light, crisp and refreshing in its nature, Glow finishes fruity and tart with a soft afterglow of grain, citrus and fruit skins. Glow is a serviceable sour to meet the thirst of the masses but is unlikely to find itself on a lot of the biggest beer connoisseur's' wish lists.
