Lawson Creek Red Ale

Brewed by Cold Spring Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Cold Spring, Minnesota USA

Had a roasted malt flavor with a light hoppy kick too. Some hint of yeast but a "gunpowdery" aftertaste (tastes a bit like smokeless powder does when fired) had an average sized head with a barely offwhite tint. Fair lacing. The head lasted as long as i sat and watched it(not long i was thirsty) The beer itself was fairly thin in consistency with a medium red hue. The initial flavor was moderately sweet with a light bitter swallow. had a medium palate, a bit week for a red ale, had a nice dry flavor and was fairly light on the carbonation (good in my book). Overall not too bad, but not a winner in my book, would drink it again if it was offered to me but i dont think i will be spending any more money on it!

So tonight I had the choice of Pyramid Snow Cap for $5.99 or Lawson creek for $3.99. I picked the Lawson.
Starts out promising, pouring out a clear reddish orange color, with a creamy smooth head. Like egg whites beaten to soft peaks. Lots of sticky lace
Aroma is mostly doughy.
Flavor is bland but metalic, like they put a fistful of pennies in a bud light.
Thankfully I also bought a Sam Smiths Oatmeal stout while I was there, so I have something to wash that taste out of my mouth with.

Bottle poured a nice copper/ amber with no head and very thin lacing. Aroma was malty and crisp. Sweet flavor with just a bit of a metalic taste on the palate. Not bad at all,I could drink a 6 pack of these with no problem come summer time. Seems as it would be a good refreshing beer.

Wife picked this one for me while grocery shopping. No head to speak of. A red ale with a dark golden appearence? Would of thought it would be amber in color. Well none the less better than water to wet the whisle after a trip to the store.

Kroger brand beer is back. First there was Cost Cutter, now they carry Gluek’s line of garbage. All-around nasty brew, horrible skunk smell and tasted like wet cheerios. Not pleasing by any definition.

Hooooo Hooooooo...watch out pain train coming through. I stumbled upon this tragedy when my mom decided to buy some for me for New Years. She meant well, but still doesn’t understand that beer I like isn’t limited to anything but BMC. Golden with a white head. Aroma smelled like tires that had been driving on a snowy day. Palate was very wattery and the only discernable taste was the rubber tire after taste this one left.

Poured light amber with zero head...smelled interestingly malty...tasted like glue...Krogers $4.99 for a sixer...yuck...

Slightly better than drinking pool water, this one doesn’t offer much. And like a politician, it doesn’t deliver on any of its promises. Vote this one out of office.
