Beer of the Week: Red Dog

Beer score: 3.1

Company: MillerCoors

ABV: 4.8
IBU: Not reported

A beer typical of the American style prior to a few decades ago. It would possibly be popular at bowling alleys, dart tournaments, backyard barbecues, etc.

Has a slight corn scent and taste with the pale yellow color common to such beers. Has a nice foamy head but a bit too much carbonation for my liking.

There's nothing really special here, Red Dog tasting pretty much like a dozen other beers on the market, but it's been around a while so it must serve its place in the market. If you're something of a beer snob, you'll turn your nose up at this, but if you just want a cold one after mowing the yard or while watching the game, this beer could do the trick for you.
