ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Dec 24, 2008 12oz bottle. Very similar to the killians irish red but with added tones of honey that give it a slight added sweetness.

As I recall, this was a nice change from the traditional Irish red. Nice tones of honey but definitely not overpowering. uglyblond1 (173), Nebraska, USA May 13, 2006 Too sweet and not enough grain. Lower end of acceptable. Not enough flavor and not crisp or bright. Anything less is not worth the effort. Borderline. vikingguy (138), Chaska, Minnesota, USA Jan 19, 2006 I used to really enjoy this beer, but I don’t think they brew it anymore. It had just the right amount of honey, not too sweet, yet still a pronouned honey flavor. oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Dec 28, 2005 Pours a medium golden yellow color. Aromas of corn, hops, and a touch of sweetness. Flavors is typical lager with a hint of sweetness. Doesn’t really do anything for the beer. ebarnes (213), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Dec 18, 2005 Bottle. Not a bad ale, especially if Killian’s Red leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. wnhay (722), Princeton, New Jersey, USA Nov 18, 2004 This is alright. The Red is much better I think. The taste of honey in beer doesn’t do it for me. The aftertaste is awful. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Oct 18, 2004 VERY similar to Dundees Honey Brown Lager. Killians being one of my fallback beers (and usually the only decent beer on tap at most bars in Alabama), I thought I’d give this a shot. Smooth, tasty and altogether inoffensive ... basically Killian’s with a dollop of honey sweetness. Not bad, but maybe too sweet to have more than one or two in a sitting.
