Bottle. Low but lasting creamy off-white head. Lovely clear amber to red body. Honey caramel sweet aroma. Mild and very sweet caramel flavor. Heavily carbonated, little hops bitterness and a short aftertaste.

Years ago this was a favorite of mine. Had for the first time in years tonight, and realized its just an average beer. Got a decent flavor but other than that nothing special going on here. Bottle pours to red body with no head to speak of. If you’re in a pinch and have to grab your beer at Walmart this is a viable choice.

Old standby for when liquor store is closed since it is avaiblable almost anywhere. Amber-orange pour into frothy, mostly diminishing off-white head. Good amount of lacing. Good balance of light hoppiness and malty flavors. Have had on tap before but would like to try a 6 pt. Killians Irish Red on tap.

Pours up a reddish hue that may be not 100% natural. Drinks pretty smoothly, has some discernable malt and hops presence. Can be a good option at some chain restaurants or at the occasional bar where this is priced as a routine domestic which it is.

Nice red pour. Smokey bitter sweet character. Dark roast malt. Has all this but is still lacking.

Tap. Shared a pitcher with a few friends. This was all the place on on tap. I remember really liking this beer when I was about XX (young) years old. Now, I’m spoiled. It is really quite bland...but if its the only thing on tap, I will drink it.

Pours amber/red into a shaker. Head quickly subsides to skim rim. Fruity caramel aromas. Almost painfully dry with upfront tropical fruit flavors. Mildly bitter finish.

Very good beer. Extremely tolerable and smooth. Pretty malty and when compared to any other mass produced beer, it blows most anything away.
