Commercial Description:
Brewed to the original Carling Red Cap recipe, this true light tasting Canadian style ale has the same smooth sparkling taste that made this nostalgic brand so famous in the fifties and sixties.

Stubby: Pours pale lagery, head-ish. Aroma is not really there, corn and blah. Flavour is corny pale lager. Might be good for something like pouring on a frozen door lock or feeding to a house plant, not recommended for ingestion.

341ml stubby at the bowling alley in Uptown Waterloo. Not sure what to make of this one, nice little peppery hop zing in the finish after some questionable toasty pale malts and a bit of corn. Not much in the way of adjuncts or offensive flavours, but still not great. Decent enough for what it is, and for God’s sake, I was in a f***ing bowling alley. It was this or Coors Light on tap. For a Brick product it is surprisingly neutral on the crap scale.

Draft. Weak yellow/gold appearance. Boiled rice and vague grassy aroma. Quite refreshing, despite its regrettably dominant lemon/steel flavour profile. A quick burst of hop bitterness helps salvage a positive final impression.

Bottle. Stubbie! Non-offensive corn odour, but certainly not a pleasing one. Doesn’t look like anything special in the glass, but it is in a stubbie, which is so cooool. Uh, the taste is dominated by its sour, corn-like aftertaste. If it weren’t for that, it would be a very clean, light tasting beer with a slight hop kick, but the aftertaste is quite pungent really. Can’t recommend this for anything other than nostalgia (my Dad’s reaction to seeing this beer was a very simple "yuck", I wonder what stories he could tell...)

My beer of choice largely because of it’s cheap price and good flavour. I would best describe this as a workman’s ale nothing too fancy on the palate but nothing offensive. If i had one complaint it would be that this beer is a bit too sweet , could use a little bit more bitter of a flavour. Overall though this is a great ale and a steal at $29 a 24

Ha! good old redcap! I remember having this when it was brewed by Carling. Just a plain old crappy golden ale. Nothing fancy, just a lawnmower beer.
