I continue to ponder what makes me buy Great Lakes beer? Here is another example. Rally Drum Red Ale was a great beer. I loved it. So, of course, they discontinue it but take the name to a decent but very different beer. My bad for not reading the label better. Should have known. This is a serviceable lager but not nearly as good as Brooklyn Lager or maybe even Yuengling which are both less expensive. I doubt I would even take it over some of the old school adjunct lagers like Blatz or Narragansett or Schmidt. The look is average for the style. Little to no aroma. I did appreciate the bit of caramel malt present. Mouthfeel average for a lager. Went with a slickness. $11.99 a six pack is a bit much for a pedestrian brew. But what isn't a bit much now adays.
