Rahr and Son's Storm Cloud India Pale Ale (IPA):

Happy storm front everyone! As it seems that we have a line of impending doom approaching right now, what a better time to review the Rahr Storm Cloud IPA. A nice pour, clean appearance with slight carbonation and nice nose. Smelling like a nice IPA that has a nose of flowers and fruit the beer’s taste I where the differentiation starts over all other IPAs. While most IPAs have an small hop taste up front and a back-end of strong skunk and hops, this one is flipped, though the front end is more mild than strong and the back end lingers though it dissipates quickly with food. I had this beer pegged as the my would be favorite of the week but, unless a surprise comes out of left field tomorrow or Wednesday, it looks like the Iron Thistle is going to come out as the favorite.
