Originally rated February 2005. Poured an amber-red colour with a descent head. Aroma was very light with hints of fruits. The taste had a bit more presence, with malt, fruits and slight toffee all mixed together. Carbonation was heavy and mouthfeel was thin. This is Labatt’s answer to Molson’s Rickard’s Red. The two biggest Canadian macros attempt to red ales. I prefer Mick’s as it is at least refreshing, and Rickard’s gives me headaches.
