It pours a nice red color. The head is too small, almost non-existent. Aroma is pleasant and it tastes decently of bread grains. I was rather suprised considering it’s brewed by Coors. Not a bad beer, there’s just so many better beers out there.

Smooth, drinkable, probably won’t remember it tomorrow, but not a bad red-colored lager... Killian’s Irish Brown Ale was better in my opinion, really miss that stuff. Cheers!

Not bad for a lager in my opinion. Overall, not that great. Very subtle caramel flavor, almost no hops detected. A fuller version of some better american lagers. Drinkable, though utterly forgettable.

On tap at Buffalo Wild Wings. It thought that I would give this beer another try as I have not had it is a long time. Not very good - tastes like a weak pale lager and kool-aide.

Not great, but definitely drinkable. It looks nice, read with a decent white head. The flavor is of caramel and rather malty. It’s a bitter watery, and just doesn’t have much of a kick to it. It’s not bad, but it’s even more definitely not good.

This is a very good irish red especially for the price. This DEMOLISHES the Sam Adams Irish Red. Then again...sam adams is awful.

12 oz bottle - Pours amber with a reasonable off white head. Aroma of caramel malts. Flavor is malty sweet caramel. On the palate this is medium bodied and slightly watery. This isn’t terrible. It just isn’t that good either.

This beer is less than impressive. Other posters got it right with the term "drinkable". If I’m going to get an "Irish Red" brew, I’m opting for Sam Adams’ version. This is not horrible, but its not outstanding. Actually after another sip,... its not even good.
