Killian's Irish Red

Killian's Irish Red is a red lager whose color is......... yes, you guessed correctly, red.

It pours a great head without much of a retention to speak of. It doesn't have a pungent aroma, but is well carbonated. Flavor is bitter with hops and only slightly malty. The flavor on the back end of the tongue is incredibly sweet which is surprising considering the density of sweet taste buds, or lack thereof, in the area. Aftertaste is mildly bitter and mildly sweet. Mouthfeel is...... meh. That's about all I can say about it.

Overall, Killian's is not a particularly special beer. It's decent, but not spectacular. It's a good everyday beer, or a good "get drunk" beer.
