Henry Weinhards Red

Formerly brewed at Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Amber Ale
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Oh Blue Boar. Poured a light amber-golden. Clear and mildly spice/malty. Pretty boring, but drinkable.

draught into pint glass years ago. I remember nothing good or awful about this beer. It was average across the board,

Had this beer on 5/15/1999. Color is a deep brown with good carbonation but a thin head. Aroma is a sweet lightly roasted malt scent. Taste is sweet, light and clean. It starts with somewhat light body that goes down with a smooth malt flavor. The finish is a crisp lightly roasted malt flavor and light hop flavoring. It’s a bit lighter than I think good red should be.

Bronze to copper in color with a wispy white head. Minimal nose with hints of biscuits and light caramel. LIght caramel and toasted grain flavors. HInts of herbal hops. I keep looking for more, but there is not a whole lot more in this one.

Bottle. Didn’t know it was retired, still at the grocery store here. Pours amber in color with an off white head. Aroma of malt. For being so cheap it has a decent malty character, I used to think it was good which is why I tried it again with a more experienced palate. Taste very similar to the amber, and is also overly sweet. This could be old beer. I like the style of the bottle and we used to drink quite a bit of this stuff since it looked expensive but was very cheap in the thick cardboard 12 packs.

Similar to Weinhard’s Dark, but red instead of brown. Similar light malt and hop character and mild sweetness.

Pours a nice bright amber color. Aromas of pine with some roasty scents. Flavor is mixed well with the sweet malt.

Really, Weinhards makes two amber ales? I bet this one tastes a lot better than the Henry Weinhards Amber Ale! Wait, this tastes just like the crap with the brown label. Dammit, they tricked me out of another $6.99.
