Appearance: Slightly hazy, pale golden body with a decent white head. Below average lacing.
Aroma: Faint, sweet barley with grassy hops and a hint of apple.
Taste: Crisp, grassy, and somewhat subdued hop flavor up front balanced with honey malt bring up the rear. Some apple cider flavors mixed in. The best way I can think of to describe this is as a richer macro without the shitty twang. Somewhat thin, but that's very appropriate for the style. Mildly bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body with fine carbonation. Finish dries slightly.
Drinkability: Very easily drinkable and refreshing, this is perfect for a Texas barbecue.
Verdict: This is the beer that the macros should be. If you're looking for something simple and drinkable that won't offend at your next BBQ, you'll do a lot better with a case of this than the normal Bud/Miller/Coors fare.

Clear light gold color with white cap and lacing.
Aroma of mild sweet malt and floral hops.
Taste is mild to mid malt with a spicy kick from the hops. Some elements of yeast bread and fresh hay with a dry, crisp finish.
Liight-mediuum texture with balancing carbonation.
Clean, pleasant take on a food and company friendly lager.

Rahr's Blonde has a thick, white head, a hazy, yellow-gold, bubbly appearance, and minimal lacing. Aroma is of sweet malt and faint, yeasty bread. Taste is of sweet, pale malt, sweet, white bread, and grassy hops. Mouthfeel is medium, and Rahr's Blonde finishes mostly dry and crisp.

Poured into a glass from a can.
A - Pours a clear straw, forming a very thin white head, with no lacing. Steady stream of carbonation through the drink.
S - The aroma of bready malt dominates the nose.
T - Taste is dominated by the malts, with a very doughy taste coating the palate. There is a slight metallic tinge in the finish, followed by just a hint of hop bitterness. The taste of the malts remains long after the finish, becoming a tad bit cloying.
M - Light mouthfeel with good carbonation.
O - Overall, a good light lager, but lacking a bit in complexity compared to the German varieties available.
