It looks like most light red ales, nothing abnormal or special.
It doesn't smell particularly bad, nor good, though it's an improvement over AGD.
The taste is not very good, and the feel of the ale is almost greasy which sullies what little flavour is actually there.
Overall it's a cheap beer, and you're getting what you pay for. At least it's not Molson Ice.

355 ml can. New style label. It does list Big Rock Brewery (not Pine Creek), and liquordepot.ca (who I believe this is brewed exclusively for).
This beer pours a clear, medium amber color. Short head, foamy bubbles, fades quickly, minimal lace.
It smells of some caramel malt, and some vegetable hops.
The taste has some caramel malt, then some more earthy hops, balanced flavors.
The carbonation is ok for the style, the body is medium, smooth and dry finish.
A pretty average amber ale, not great but not bad either.
