Can, this beer blows. I don’t know what else to say about except that I am sad that I have drunk so much of this in my younger uneducated days. I have not tried this since freshman year and do not ever plan on having it again. This beer is the beer equivalent of Flint Michigan.

A darker yellow beer than the average American pale lager. I though it was a red ale by the name, but should have known it was a pale lager coming from Miller. When you pour it the glass fills up half way with pure white, thick foam. Of course is doesn’t last, because the head on a beer is of no use to the people that drink this from the can. The aroma is a woody clean malt, with a little bit of heavy grain. It tastes like malt liquor, thick and malty and a little sweet on the finish. Overall its full and a little heavy. It loses a lot of its carbonation, and hence "refreshment", when you pour it. Wouldn’t be too bad if it had a lighter body and a darker color, but I just can get past the corn syrup taste, so it is pretty bad. The best part about this beer is the myth of what you see when you flip the can upside down and look at the red dog. It says "Uncommonly Smooth" on the can. This is true, probably, because they didn’t put enough hops in it, one of the 4 essential ingredients of beer.

classic pale yellow pour with no head. sweet malts and a light bitterness. a little fuller than i was expecting and the bitterness isn’t too bad.

Can - Poured a pale amber in color with a big foamy head that quickly disappeared. Aroma is sour with corn adjuncts with little of malt or hops. Flavor was surprisingly sweetish but little in the way of "real" beer flavor was present. Megaswill, for sure...
