From tap. Nice golden color, starts out bitter but quickly goes to a grainy finish. Head thins out rather quickly, but not bad. Some carbonation, but not as pronounced as some beers.
This used to be a restaurant-only beer marketed as house beers, not sure if they've released it to the public (I tried).

On-tap at the VFW, Uncle's going away party
A very mild but tasty brew, I haven't had a firebrick in ages to compare this one to, but this seems better. A little caramel malt sweetness, very little bitterness from the hops on the backend, actually a decent flavor considering how light it was. I like this better than any of the macros on tap but it still drinks as easy as any of them - a plus to me in this situation

Just saw this and had to double check to make sure they weren't rebranding Firebrick or something. This is from their Legacy beer series. I think it might be a beer they brew for house labels. You know the Outback Steakhouse Amber Lager, etc.
Brewery Description: "Sometimes you need to look back to push forward. As we continue to innovate, we wanted to give a proper prost to a long-time draft favorite. This smooth, red lager is our nod to a pre-prohibition recipe giving it a truly authentic American taste"
That's about all I know if it. It drinks a bit like a Killian's Red without as much flavor it seems. Very clean looking burnt orange amber color and the flavor is very mild and easy drinking. Just a bit of an herbal hop finish. Guessing maybe Cluster hops? Very light caramel maltiness. Very light. It's definitely a clean drinking beer but seems thin at the same time.
