473 ml can courtesy jerc. I’m still having a tough time believing this is actually a different beer than Clancy’s Amber, but hopefully an actual sample will tell the tale. Amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy and creamy off-white head. Metallic, grainy, wet hay, slightly sweet, and light fusel aroma. Biscuit, honey, grainy, and brown sugar flavours with more sugary sweetness combined with a yeasty dry bitter finish. If I was to put it all together, I think this tastes like honeycomb cereal. Medium bodied, smooth but oily and lightly prickly mouthfeel. Maybe this is different from the Amber, because I remember the Amber being much better than this. Given the Amber was pretty mediocre, that makes the Red just plain awful.

Oct 2, 2007 Amber colour. White head, kind of pillow like. Then it goes away real quick. Aroma of cheap malt and grass. Flavour is sweet malts and adjuncts. Watery body. This is not awesome.

Aug 26, 2007 Golden copper in colour, lingering white coloured head, thick lacing, some noticable carbonation. The aroma is of pale malts, some caramel malts, moderate fruit sweetness. The flavour is very light and watery, some pale malts, cereal, quite sweet. Watery and thin mouthfeel, light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes watery and very quick. Just another tasteless lager brewed for the Ontario market, just what we needed. I hated this when it was called Rickerds Red.
473ml can from the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario for $2.20.
Purchased on May 23, 2007 and opened on May 24, 2007.
No best before date.
