Bottle purchased and drank at Fattey Beer Company in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a light golden reddish color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells fairly watery, with a touch of sweetness and breadiness.
This is certainly not bad, by any means, but there’s just not much to this one. It’s lightly bitter on the finish, with a watery but toasty malt character. There’s no off-flavors, but just not much flavor in general.
This is light bodied, watery, thin, and insufficient on the finish. It’s pretty drinkable, though.
This was a little bit better than I thought it would be, but it wasn’t necessarily good, either.

American version of an Irish Red. Not too bad, tho; rich amber color, malty, caramel , delicately carbonated, etc. All the right qualifiers, Worth mentioning - it's definite;y bit crisper than most Irish reds; essentially a red lager.
Works for me .)

12oz bottle. Date stamp on neck is 'SEP2523', for best by date.
Clear, medium amber colored body. Long lasting off white head. Leaves behind long strings of lacing.
Aroma of toasted caramel malts.
Taste is sweet caramel malts and some floral hops. Has a bit of bitterness. Caramel malt in the aftertaste.
Medium mouth feel, and buzzy in the mouth. Good carbonation.
Limited on the aroma and the taste but solid for what it is. Definitely has some caramel in the flavor.

Look - brown and red in appearance, little head that faded quickly
Smell - malts, caramel
Taste - malty, has a little caramel flavor and sweet fruit on the end as it settles
Feel - medium body and carbonation
Overall - Another one from back in the day that was pretty good at the time. Has a better body and flavor than alot of other cheap brews. I don't seek this one out anymore but am glad I picked one up for a revisit and to reminisce about old times. I thought it was appropriate that Let It Go by Def Leppard was playing as I enjoyed this brew.
