Henry Weinhards Red

Formerly brewed at Miller Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Amber Ale
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

My first red beer experience. Was a bit of a stepping stone beer for me. Actually had some malt flavor. A little bit of sweetness as well. Tastes kind of like a beer with artificial redness added.

This was one of my favorite "sale" beers in College. It is a light amber color and a little bit more balanced than the rest of the Weinhard’s collection.

(2001) Looks quite a bit like the Amber and the Dark. Must be just a different ratio of food colorings because it also tastes alot like those others. Ever had Liquid Smoke? Try the Amber, add a drop or two of concentrated smoke juice to simulate roasted malt...is this the same as the Amber? Throw in one hop bud, too. I'm confused. Whatever, read my ratings of the Amber or the Dark, this is about the same. Blah, but I'm not choking on it. Pretty watery finish.

Bottle. Pours reddish-amber with moderate cream colored head. Pleasant sweet malty nose with some hops. Flavor is sweet, caramel, mild spice and bitter astringent. Light to medium body with good carbonation. A hearty lager with some character.

Very light carmel malt nose and taste with minimal hopping. Not much here

’recommended for red beer beginners.’ What the hell???

This has some similarities to the approach of Weinhard’s Blue Boar Ale---a fairly light all-around profile but with discernible malt presence, which of course is rare for a macro-product...Naturally, this has a huskier feel to it, and is "coarser" than its direct competitor Killian’s, but that will be to the liking of many...Nothing really exciting going on here, but it is certainly more than a viable alternative to the general mass of "blah" mainstream offerings out there...

not bad at all, nice somwhat smoky flavor that feel good in the mouth, no aftertaste, i was actually surprised that this beer is this good!
