2$ can from vintage. Pour is virtually clear with a big white head. First taste is bready with a slight yeast background. Comes across a little boozy even tho its only about 5%. In the middle I'm getting a hint of astringent bitterness. Very good level of co2 sizzle. Towards the end its becoming a little more beady and naughty. Yea, this stuff finishes with a near soapy attitude. Can take it or leave it, meh.

Can 2$ at vintage estate. This stuff pour fairly light and clear, light brown with a darker orange tint. You know, many red ales aint really red but this one at least makes an attempt at being red. Nose is mild sweet malts. First big swig reveals a malty beer with what seems to be a little peat in there. Decent co2. A little bit of bitter bite start to show thru in the middle, mild astringent bite. Goes down pretty easy but could use some manners on the astringent bite. Decent finish with more astringency build yet can be appreciated for what it is. In the end it needs some help to keep up with Brew Keepers Eireann Dearg, Biker Rumblin Red, Sullivan's Maltings Irish Ale (Export Strength) or even local Beaver Brewing Horny Sheepherder. There, you have it.

Can, pour is clear, slightly darker pale, nearing the yellow light brown orange spectrum. Smell is that of a fresh cream corn nose lager with a slightly malty olfactory. First taste is a little surprisingly bitter up front. Then you get some of that malty feel in the middle. Continues with good carbonation, I like that; helps me overcome that bitter thing in there. Towards the end I'm starting to get a little bit more of phenolic astringent-ness. Yea, it finishes on the top of the back of the tongue with a medium length almost unpleasant continuing un-hoppy bitter bite. Started off good but could finish better.
