"No intergrity at all: a discount brand, high alcohol "red" (red??) beer flavoured water. But that said, I didnt mind it. Very good carbonation, nothing much past that, but all considered drinkable. "

[2] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/24/2005 4:51:34 PM)
"Their site still says 5.9% ABV, but the label on my bottle is at 5.5% ABV. Bought in Ontario too. Pours a clean golden-brown-red colour with a foamy off-white head. Light carbonation and retention, with no lacing in sight. The nose is pretty impressive though, with strong rusty malt. The mouthfeel is watery and the taste is far from what it smells. Mostly corn. Starts off slightly bitter, but middle is corn, finish is corn and aftertaste is corn. Nothing offensive, and if you like corn... you will like this one. Just don't expect a red tasting brew."

[3] Review by myke from T-dot, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/20/2005 8:24:58 PM)
"I don't know where they get off calling this red beer as it poured brown and tasted brown. Looked like pop sitting in the glass. Tasted like it couldn't decide if it was brown or red, with a bit of a cola feel. Laker beers are horrible all around but this was by far the absolute worst. A neighbour gave it to me and now that's he gone I'm going to pour it out."

[4] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (6/7/2005 8:15:07 PM)
"Second of the terrible trio of "dollar" beers I got from Brick. Same fizzy carbonation and poor head retention as the other Buck a beer Bricks....except it’s a light amber gold color. Same near odorless aroma of wet rice paper except there are hints of caramel. Spritzy weak mouth feel but at least there is a light caramel malt taste and some fruity esters that come in in the fast finish ( possibly flavored and colored with an adjunct agent)...probably the best of the Laker line for what that’s worth....still too weak and watery to be taken seriously.
