George Killian's Irish Red

Let me start this off by saying quite simply, I enjoyed drinking a six pack of the Irish Red, and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and light it was. Now that I have made a rather effeminate statement, let me add that despite the light taste, the brownish-red ale packed a lasting taste, which did not disappoint. I confess to having already tasted this beer before, but I really got to appreciate this pack, and truly learned a thing or two about the beer itself. According to wikipedia, its a "4.9% amber lager brewed by Coors, and widely distributed in the US. The brand name was purchased from the Pelforth Brewery in France, who had previously bought it from Lett's Brewery in Ireland, which had closed in 1956." So thankfully, its not false advertisement and it really is (or at least was) an Irish beer. Nevertheless, the sheer smooth aftertaste, lack of a strong aroma, and relative lightness of the beer makes it a regular in my book - I mean, you can't get hammered every single night, right?! Killian's Irish Red is not only refreshing, it has a very high level of chuggability, but still maintains enough "classiness" to be drank in a nice pint glass while watching a football game at the local watering hole.


Final Verdict: I recommend this beer as a nice light beer with a refreshing taste that can enjoyed by most, especially when the temperature is warm and you serve up Killian's ice cold.
