Olands Premium Red Draught

Formerly brewed at Oland Brewery (AB-InBev)
Style: Amber Ale
Halifax, Canada

Tap at Dooly’s, Summerside, PEI. Nice red-amber colour with a small head. Earthy malt in the aroma and flavour. Flavour also has some roasty notes and caramel sweetness. Thin body. Finish is surprisingly well-hopped. Not quite up to the level of a good micro product, but still much better than I expected.

DMS with some industrial caramel in the nose. head drops quickly, nice colour, good presentation by bartender. Finish is thin, with a faint hint of hops and brewers caramel. Tastes like Olands Export with some colour and caramel added. Not real.

Clear red/amber colour with an average size off-white head. Sourish, yeasty aroma. Lightly sweet cereal start, then finishes slightly dry and bitter. Watery mouthfeel drying out on the finish.

Oland's Red is a very clean, dry tasting red. It goes down very smooth with almost no aftertaste. great if you are going to have more than one or two.

This is a decent Maritime-Canada style ale. You’re not going to get dry hopped hop power, you’re not going to get 100% malt taste, but what you get is well balanced and a good quaff when chilled. This is what I order when I travel back to Halifax.

A real stand out for a Canadian beer. This is a perfect color and great taste. It is a little weak on the "bite" but maybe that is just me. After Schooner, the Red is my next Olands choice.

Really nice deep ruby red color(like all the adjectives I used?). Goes down very easily with hardly any aftertaste. Very ’Crafty-Tasting’ ale.
