Lawson Creek Red Ale

Burnt toasted malty taste, with some hop sweetness, but very subtle. Light fruity sweetness with a little bit of honey in the finish. ???

Poured burnt orange with virtually no head. It has a musty, yeasty aroma. Sweet, fruity flavor with a hint of peach? Flat. An odd creation.

Pours amber with thin head. Has a malty aroma with mild fruit. Malty flavor with a slight grape taste. Not bad.

had a promising malty nose, but it had weak carbonation and a nearly non-existent head. it also was not really red, but more of a gold copper color. average mouthfeel but tasted a little like i was sucking on its bottlecap (somewhat metallic). not enough hops; overall this isn't horrible, but it's definitely boring.

The $4 Kroger beer strikes again. Something about this beer is a little... off. Several somethings, in fact. Taste is bland and metallic, and hops are quite poor. A bit watery, too. They call this stuff an ale? Avoid.

Had a few bottles if this last night. Pours a medium sparkling orange. The off-white slightly creamy head is instantly diminishing and has virtually no lacing. The nose is actually the highlight of this experience, dried figs and flowers remind me of well brewed bitters. The flavor does not. Taste is lacking ... starts and ends sweet ... no balance or depth ... not offensive but has about as much character as a parking meter. The light and creamy body is lively and feels metallic and alcoholic at the finish. Not as bad as their Vanilla Coke, I mean Stout, but not much better. Cold lagered Red Ale, isn't that an oxymoron?

Looks good with a good head. Tastes pretty good too. Somewhat sour, but goes down pretty smooth and has a pretty satisfying aftertaste. It wasn't my favorite beer ever, but its worth a try.

dammit kroger. this stuff is so falsely labeled. not red; a little more coppery than than the 'pale ale' with the same white head. light, almost wine-like smell. wierd clashy flavor; a little sour. blah. re-rate: what was I thinking? don't give this crap a chance.
