Had this beer up at a Ontario bar. I had recently had Rickards Red and decided to explore other Red’s in the area. This one however disappointed me a bit. The smell was good, but it appeared a little weak. The head was minimal. The red amber color was more clear, and the whole beer felt very watery. The taste was nothing remarkable. Not a bad red but certainly not as palatable as Rickards. The texture was quite thin and watery, and the beer seemed to have a light weight feel, not really thick. I wasnt asking for a milkshake but I expect my red to be a little heavier. I personally didnt love this one, and opted to have just the one trial pint and leave it at that.
