Commercial Description:
Pig's Eye Red Amber is rich in color, as its name implies-the result of specialty malts and caramel hops used in the brewing process, which uses a much higher heat than normal, producing a fizzy, smooth mouthfeel, with a sweet malt taste. Light, but with a full flavor as rich as its color, Pig's Eye Red Amber product is competitive with other leading brands in this market segment.

Nice amber color, but what's a caramel hop? Sweet taste is present--the head is large bubles that vanish quickly. High carbonation. The taste is sweet, smooth and has reasonable hop support. Heard this was brewed in abrewery that shares an island with a nuclear power plant. Can you see me glowing?. . .Good.

For a cheap beer this stuff is a heck of a lot better than that Coors made ’Irish Red’. This is (or rather was) the best beer in the Pig’s Eye line.

With a foamy head and a rich flavor, this may be the best cheap beer in America. Best on tap at a ballpark -- the St. Paul Saints used to serve it at Midway. Too bad they don’t any more, as it’s hard to find on tap.

I liked the pig. It had a good flavor too it . Not a sign of weakness with this beer.
