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.

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.
