Overall a good red but not quite a killians. Worth the shot, but it won't turn any heads. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Fairly mediocre brew on smell and taste. I would much rather drink a Killians over this one.. Fairly forgettable

Very mediocre beer. Not a lot of flavor, nothing that jumps out at me except the price.

For st patty?s day, i will def have a few of these. It pours a deep red. Smell isnt great, but taste makes up for it. Taste is great, nice sweetness with perfect sting. This ginger has soul.

GT2 (5659) - Riverslime, California, USA - MAR 2, 2013
Tap at the Board Room. Clear red, weak head. Low carbonation. Nose is heavy red Twizzlers. Sticky candies. Taste is hazelnut, sweet chocolate cake. Not bad. Palate sugary, soapy, cleaner.
