Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a thin off white head. Heavy malty and caramel aroma with some hints of ripe fruit. Sweet malty flavor. Syrupy texture with lively carbonation. Not bad, bit lacks flavor.

Dec 2, 2009 Updated: Dec 5, 2009On tap. Maybe if the brewer had not tried to pass this off as a ’premium red ale’ I wouldn’t mind it. It’s good if there’s nothing else decent on offer - and possibly better than Alexander Keith’s. At least this doesn’t say ’ale’ anywhere on the label!

Nov 23, 2009 12oz bottle. Clear red pour with a 1 inch beige head. Huge sweet caramel aroma with a bit of roast. Sweet malt and creamy caramel flavor that makes me wonder whether it has corn in it. I remember liking this brew before I liked craft beer and I’m glad to see (smell and taste) that it’s still something I don’t mind drinking.

Nov 17, 2009 On tap. Pours a rich amber color with small beige head. I do not get the supposed metallic taste everyone else does, maybe it’s there to a very slight extent, but it’s by no means a big factor. Malty and fairly sweet, with some dryness. By no means a great beer but a serviceable beer and I don’t get too hesitant about settling for a pint of this when there is little else on offer.

Nov 5, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a clear amber color with a small amount of off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel and grains. Taste is rather malty, but includes a metallic finish that wasn’t very appealing. Light body and rather unimpressive.

Oct 18, 2009 basically the molson smithwick’s. Wasn’t sweet, not enough malt. Mellow in the session style manner, tasted of karo syrup.
