I used to like this beer a lot in college because it was not as disgusting as the rest of the swill they served at parties. Although, I thought this was a far less superior beer to Red Wolf. Maybe it was the choice of animal.

Drank it purely because of it’s name. I didn’t turn red until I tasted it and after I drank two I was pissing on fire hydrants so I guess it was accurately named, but that’s the best I can say.

A darker yellow beer than the average American pale lager. I though it was a red ale by the name, but should have known it was a pale lager coming from Miller. When you pour it the glass fills up half way with pure white, thick foam. Of course is doesn’t last, because the head on a beer is of no use to the people that drink this from the can. The aroma is a woody clean malt, with a little bit of heavy grain. It tastes like malt liquor, thick and malty and a little sweet on the finish. Overall its full and a little heavy. It loses a lot of its carbonation, and hence "refreshment", when you pour it. Wouldn’t be too bad if it had a lighter body and a darker color, but I just can get past the corn syrup taste, so it is pretty bad. The best part about this beer is the myth of what you see when you flip the can upside down and look at the red dog. It says "Uncommonly Smooth" on the can. This is true, probably, because they didn’t put enough hops in it, one of the 4 essential ingredients of beer.
