Nothing all that special surprised to see it on tap. Sinc I've only heard of it. Drinkable with that Carlsberg taste but thicker and fuller bodied. Good head that was a beige colour. Had a malty aroma. Malty taste bitters that hang on the back of your tounge like a dirty wet rag..... not that I put dirty wet rags in my mouth.... the end

Pours red amber with a thin white head. Smells like Killians. Tastes like a watered down version of Killians (Irish Red - gotta be specific with these things). There is, however, a rather pleasant light malt flavor that lingers in the finish. Easy to drink.

Pours dark red in the glass. Nose and taste of malts, malts and more malts. Rated 7/10/2000

120z bottle. Poured dark red color with a prominent off white head that lingers, quite decent lace. Malty aroma with alcohol notes. Taste is very smooth with lots of slightly sweet malt flavor, caramel, and mild bitter hops, strong alcohol taste in the otherwise clean finish..

red and fruit punch in apple nose with a toffee roasted and light soap and metal like hops character.moderately intense effervescence. it is less intense when imbibed. modertate body mainly due to large vibrant carbonation that seems to make a nuisence of itself but actually may offer needed distraction. taken from time to time in the 22 oz can. it is dark red.

I thought this stuff was decent,nice maltiness to it and was worth getting again if the price is right.

clean red color, whispy head, malty aroma, good hop flavor that warms to a tartness then a bitterness for an aftertaste

Bottle. Pours a nice red-brownish colou with an average lasting head. Nice aroma of hops and toasted malt with caramel, which is even more profound in the flavour along with a nice soft fruitiness. Good mouthfeel. The aftertaste is long lasting and just so pleasant. Brewed in Canada on licence by permission from Carlsberg. Great amber beer. Why is this tasty beer not brewed in Denmark?

Draught. Poured red/brown with average head. Some nutty aromas, with a subtle hop flavouring that is overpowered by the overall sweetness of the beer. Minimal bitter aftertaste. Okay for a macro red.

Pours a amber color. Aromas of malts and a hint of hops. Flavor is sweet malt, could use more hops.

On Tap. Good looking head, lasting lace, a beautiful dark hue. Sweet, with a lasting finish.
