Angus MacDougals Scottish Red Ale

Brewed by Cold Spring Brewery
Style: Scottish Ale
Cold Spring, Minnesota USA

This beer lacked most of everything. Little to no head, sour aroma, pale orange like color. Taste was not drinkable, truly.

A novel idea. "12 greatest beers of the world". But, no let's make a batch of amber bottle it and put different labels on it. OK, not quite true, but The differences between these beers, even though said to be different style was scary. All would have done well in a amber ale competition.

I am not sure how to diferentiate this from the rest of the carbonated vomit that is included in this 12 pack.

Ah, the 12th greatest beer that I forgot about. This is nearly the same thing as the other 11 that came in this godawful package. But really, how much of a fucking genious do you need to be to figure out that the 12 greatest beers in the world should cost a little more than 10 dollars, and only be sold at sam's or wal-mart. This is basically the same yellow trough water that is in the rest of the case. Worse than bud, probably the same as a special export.

As with the rest of the beers from this sampler pack - this was terrible. Although I will say, it was the best out of the pack. A red ale that has no ’red’ to it at all - this is orange fizz. It is slightly sweet - giving it it’s only attribute.

Part of the "12 Greatest Brews of the World" sampler pack found at my local Wal-Mart. This is the most blatant case of false advertising I have seen since Budweiser first tried to convince us that drinking their beer would give you rock hard abs and a bikini-model girlfriend. Let’s start with the fact that the beer isn’t even RED. It’s orange. Not even reddish-orange, just orange. I am guessing it might not really be from Scotland either. Anyway the aroma has a little malt and caramel going for it, as does the flavor, but overall it is woefully thin and flavorless.
