Bought a can during a recent trip to Austin. Poured into a chalice.
Beautiful reddish copper color with nice head and lacing. Roasted malt and caramel smell and taste. Nice hoppy bitterness. Not too boozey. Over all a very nice imperial red.

Big 1 1/4" off white, creamy, dense head and amazing retention. Glowing amber, clean Red Ale. Foamy lace.
Great looking beer.
Caramel malts and a grapefruit/pine hop back. Deep, rich aroma.
Sweet caramel malts followed by juicy and bitter pine and citrus. Resinous. Say again - deep, rich flavors.
Bright, clean entry. Medium body, slick mouthfeel. Creamy. Some residual sweetness mid-palate but the hops clean it up before it can be an issue.
Really good.

this stuff is really good. 8.99 at Twin Liquors in Georgetown Tx for a 4 pack. Kinda like an IPA but less grapefruit and less tannin. very smooth and juicy.

Killians Red meets extra hops - okay, some folks have panned this beer as unbalanced and aggressively hopped. They're idiots! I had this at the brewery and found it delightful. It poured into a tulip glass with a moderate creamy head with a citrus/phenolic nose. The first taste was a mild maltiness expected of a red, which was followed by a crisp citrus/piney bitterness of an IPA that mellowed nicely. Nice job!

Can.
Aggressive bitterness, an unwelcome English bend, and a lackluster hop profile leave this imbalanced ale wanting.
C- / BELOW AVERAGE
