Commercial Description:
An all-natural, cold filtered North American Style Lager with a distinctly hoppier taste than Steelback Silver. Appeals to the North American Beer drinker looking for a stronger, more flavourful taste.

Poured a clear gold color with a small white head. Dirty malt aroma with a light sweet fruit note to it. Sweet malt front to back. Mild bitterness on the finish. Light body.

Can from HogtownHarry. Once again, I fail to be disgusted, and that is disappointing. Drank in the middle of a tasting, this is a decent palate cleanser. Lightly bready, hoppy, clean, I’m almost embarrassed to rate this as high as I am. Maybe you guys just don’t know what you are drinking. No off flavors at all, really.

another kickass steelback product, tastes better than buck a beers and has that extra bit of alcohol. i dont know why it says its different from steelback silver its prettymuch the same, one of the greats for just drinking to get drunk, epsecially the perfect, manly sized can

710ml can from HogTownHarry - thanks! I’m assuming this is listed as "red" due to the packaging - a red it ain’t. Clear gold with a big white head that descends rockily. Looks really nice. Then you smell it - a corny, husky, chemically mess. The flavor is more of the same, with a distinct tinny bite, creamed corn over ass. The worst part, IMO, is the finish - it leaves what feels like a dry, metal particulate coating. Lovely.

710ml can.
Pours a sparkly golden yellow with a hearty white head that fades a little fast. Aroma of of corn and sour grassy bread. Biting carbonation with a thin, somewhat watery feel. Tastes a little bland. Sour and metallic with a bit of a hoppy finish. Boring and not that great.
