Commercial Description:
Lighter in body than our Red Tail Ale, Red Tail Lager is fermented at low temperatures using our traditional lager yeast. “It took 21 years to make a lager worthy of the Red Tail name. Red Tail Lager has a rich refreshing flavor with a smooth light feel and a clean and crisp sweet finish.”

Date introduced: April 2005. Description: Medium body, red hued color, snow white head, lightly hopped, rich refreshing flavor, clean and crisp sweet finish.

Golden colour with little to no fizz. The nose is slightly fruity with some apple. A spritzy body is sprinkled lightly with fruit and a light bitterness towards the end. A below average, uninspired lager.

Bottle, Queens. Pours a golden color, aroma is sweet with hints of caramel and fruit with some malt. Taste is rather sweet but with no one flavor standing out. Palate is very smooth with a refreshing aftertaste. Would like to try this one again.

12oz bottle poured deep gold with copper hue and thin tan head. The mild aroma has sweet malts bordering on a cereal sensation along with hints of crystal malts, pine hops and faint floral hops. The taste is similar to the nose with initially mildly roasted malts moving into sweet cereal malts. Toward the finish a bit of pine hops surface and grows meekly in bitterness into the after taste as the cereal note re-doubles in strength.

Pours a clear orange colour with a small white head. Scattered sticky lacing on the glass. lightly malted, with a semi sweet citrusy finish. Aroma smells like freshly rained on woodchips. kind of woodsy actually.

Did not really care for this beer at all...fairly smooth and drinkable but just not much to write home about
