 jwc215 ( Woodbridge, New Jersey )C- / 2.6look: 3 | smell: 2 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | drink: 3 rDev: +12.3%Pours clear straw yellow with a decent-sized foamy head that fizzles down slowly, leaving minimal trailing lace. The smell is of cooked veggies and popcorn - mild though. Otherwise, pretty vacant. The taste is sweet, mild grain and tonic water. Not overly sweet, though, with no detectable hops. Finishes with a touch of sweetness and a watery nothing. Nothing to it, really. It has a somewhat oily, light body. Not too fizzy for the style, giving it a smoothness in a "chugging" sense. A bland, mildly sweet cheap beer. It might be alright for a quick refresher when breaking out in a sweat. Not a terrible cheap macro lager, but not good either. Scored for what it is... but - there are so many out there like this it would get lost in a sea of bland cheap macro lagers... Serving type: can Reviewed on: 03-09-2010 23:44:00 | id: 1123977

 RonaldTheriot ( Laplace, Louisiana )B+ / 3.8look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | drink: 4 rDev: +40%For the price this one often goes for, it's a damn good beer. I purchased these 6-packs of 16 oz. cans for $2.99 each (that's $11.96/case) in December, 2009. This beer has a standard thick head and golden, bubbly appearance. It has the stereotypical American style lager smell. The taste is very good and quite similar to others in it's genre (think beer). Mouthfeel is watery and light. Red Dog has the bite one expects from this style. Overall, I have to rate this as a very fine beer. It's as good, if not better, than other higher-priced beers in its class (Budweiser, MGD, Coors). That being the case, why not purchase this and save a bundle? Red Dog definitely holds its own against the others. I've always had a lot of respect for this one.

 WolfmanK ( Webster, New York )C / 2.9look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.5 | drink: 3.5 rDev: +21.4%A decent economy brew, along the lines of Pabst Blue Ribbon, but can be found very cheap especially when on sale. I've seen it as cheap as $0.42 a can locally... It won't win any awards but it's not offensive. If you need a fridge full of beer without breaking the bank you could do worse.

Not really sure why I decided to go for all of these tonight but it was fun none the less. Served ice cold and poured into a pint glass, it was consumed on 10/28/2009. The pour was bit darker then the straw color I was expecting but again I would not really say it was anything really to write home about, but the fizzy white head did decide to hang out a little bit longer then I thought it would have. Nice even aroma here, light corn again and loads of grain but nothing really terrible or off putting about it at all. I took the first sip and I was really quite shocked. Nice caramel malts here and a decent shot of light grain flavor. Not bad. I have to admit, one of the better lagers I have had recently. Clean finish and virtually no aftertaste at all left me with a totally clean taste on the palate and a light and crisp refreshing taste. I have to admit I would probably drink this one again, can't believe I am saying that but I honestly think I would. Serving type: can Reviewed on: 10-29-2009 21:53:01 | id: 1026490
 critterbug ( Wisconsin )B- / 3.45look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | drink: 4.5 rDev: +33.9%When I was just getting into drinking as a kid (21) this was the first one I tried that I actually LIKED. Twelve years later I still like it. It gets a bad rap by some people. But the taste is good, a little bitter with mild bite to it. Good amount of carbination makes it feel good going down... Im not an expert at reviewing beer, but I have tried alot of beers over the years expensive craft beers and cheap kegger party 30 packs (which is I suppose where Red Dog fits in now). Red Dog is a damn good beer at a good price. Reminds me alot of Budweiser, so if you like Bud you should like this. Serving type: can Reviewed on: 10-17-2009 20:14:59 | id: 1018514
 TheManiacalOne ( Pawtucket, Rhode Island )D- / 1.95look: 1.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 2 | feel: 2.5 | drink: 2 rDev: -16.9%Poured from a 12oz can into a US tumbler pint glass. A: The beer is a pale yellow color, with a very thin white head that fades very quickly and leaves almost no lace on the glass. S: The aroma is very faint but contains adjuncts, light malts, grain and a very faint touch of hops. T: The taste starts out with the typical adjunct sweetness that is quickly followed by bready flavors of grain and light malts. The hops presence is as faint as you would expect from this type of beer. The after-taste is slightly sweet. M: Crisp and a little smooth, light body, medium-to-high carbonation, finish is clean. D: Not very flavorful, goes down easily and is not too filling since there isn't much to this beer, mild kick, yet another fizzy yellow beer that is nothing but marketing, marketing, marketing.

 BirdFlu ( Montclair, New Jersey )D / 2.15look: 2.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | drink: 2.5 rDev: -6%oh god.. I'm fairly embarassed to even review this but I found myself in the god-forsaken situation where this is one of the only options at a party, and so might as well... There is really nothing to even notice about this.. it is basically your standard adjunct lager thru and thru. Light, watery mouthfeel, tastes of nothing but corn adjunct, dismal appearance. As per usual, the only quality thats even average would be the "drinkability" as you could easily chug as much of this garbage as possible, but I certainly dont WANt to drink it.
