Jun 16, 2005 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.

Apr 2, 2005 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.

Jun 9, 2004 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.

Feb 14, 2004 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.

Dec 20, 2002 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.

does not count  Nov 13, 2002 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.

Aug 12, 2002 Really nice deep ruby red color(like all the adjectives I used?). Goes down very easily with hardly any aftertaste. Very ’Crafty-Tasting’ ale.
