Aug 6, 2009 Delicious. I was drinking some 40’s one night, Miller no less, and after finishing them off I had one of these... I almost shat at how good it was compared. I already knew it would taste better, but this would have rated a near perfect 5 had I rated it that night.

Aug 4, 2009 Having cut my teeth years ago on Irish Red (Weinhards), I have a partial bias toward the style. The color is a dark red amber. The head lasted for a good amount of time for a lager. Flavor is bold and full. Could drink these all day.

Jul 27, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours copper color with long lasting off-white head. Soda like carbonation. Very light aroma of floral hops, caramel malt, and alcohol. Light body. Flavor is also light: floral hops caramel malt and alcohol (too much for the style). Finish practically non existent. I still remember I used to like this beer when I was Coors Extra Gold fan.

Jul 22, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear red with off-white head. Very light aroma of hops and malt and some sweet vanilla. Flavor of hops, roasted malt, nuts, and vanilla. Not bad, not great. Definitely above average for a macro.

Jul 15, 2009 This is a classic & I remember when it 1st came out... We’d buy it by the case and get trashed! it 1st came out in a weird shaped bottle (11 oz.) anybody remember that???
It was So good we didn’t care they were gypping us out of an ounce.... The taste now seems a little different than what I remember , more lighter? It’s still a very good beer / lager... Don’t hesitate to buy it !

Some carbonation. Malt aroma. Amber red coloured and smooth on the palate with a crisp and slightly dry malt finish.

Jul 9, 2009 Bottled, BB 6/28/09. Poured clear lighter orange with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up artificially-sweetened, toasted caramel and vanilla with ever-so-faint chocolate and light earth. The flavor had the same caramel with none of the chocolate.. touches of nutty character and more vanilla around.. bitterness was basically non-existent. Light-bodied with high, forced carbonation on the palate.. nicely-toasted.. this was by all means drinkable.
