Consumed 2/26
Poured in to a pint plass

A: This beer pours a hazy, deep yellow with a one finger of white head. Head recedes quickly leaving minimal lacing.

S: Nose is grain and caramel malt.

T: Not much to the taste. Grain and corn with a good deal of seet caramel malt.

M: Light body, medium carbonation, light crisp feel.

O: Goes down easy, not overly tasty, not filling, decent kick, ok representation of style. This is a so-so beer. Larger ABV but not a lot of body and flavoring to it.

I also hope this is the correct beer. Mine was in a 1 liter bottle and came from the Philippines. It was labeled as Extra Strong Beer and was 8% so I'm assuming it is right. Anyway, I poured this beer into my tumbler at 45 degrees. The beer was a nice straw colored brew with a nice big white head. However that did not last very long. Lacing was decent. The beer smelled kinda yeasty, but good. The taste was good. Very fresh very un-shocking, pretty normal. Seemed to be highly carbonated and did not taste strong like the 8% would have made me think it would be. No burn, great taste. I would buy again.

The official beer of Filipino galivanting and camaraderie, the 8% ABV makes Red Horse an excellent choice for those seeking a cheap buzz. The 1 in 6 crazy horse bottle is stuff of legend. Actually not terrible, tastes like a bunch of cereal grains processed industrially. Metallic aftertaste and bone dry going down. Quite filling, but a good time.

look: 2.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5

Pours a clean and clear golden straw color, quite bubbly but no retention. When cold, scent was muted cereal grains with a splash of floral hops, but as it warms a slight but unpleasent chemical, rubbery smell comes through with industrial alcohol. Taste starts clean when cold, sweet cereal, light flowers and faint fruit water, but chemicals and alcohol come through increasingly as it warms. Bad lingering aftertaste, bubbly and very light. Less body and flavor than most malt liqours, but some unpleasant notes creap in.

12oz bottle into pilsner glass. this bottle is saying this is a 7%abv brew, but i cant be the first person to drink this. i mean i found it at a whole foods in VA. going to review it under 8% malt liquor one.

A: very clear. very gold. bubbly white head with decent retention, minimal lacing. (3.5)
S: eggy sulfur. minerally. white rice. a minor earthy, herbal hop. (3)
T: rice. metallic. a little bit of bubblegum. bone-dry. (2)
M: average/high carbonation on a light body. (4)
D: wish the body, as well as the nose, had some more grain in it. for a 7%ABV brew im surprised at such a light body. another boring rice brew from Asia in my book. (2)

Enjoyed this 12oz bottle out of a large snifter glass.

A: Pours a golden-orange hue with a thin, 2-finger, white, head that quickly dissipates into a wispy lace after leaving a nice trail down the glass.

S: Musty malt aroma with a slight pine scent.

T: More bitter than sweet with an up front tart taste. Smooth with a decent malt background.

M: Medium body and medium carbonation.

O: Just a so so brew. Nothing special or anything I would remember.

Aroma is crisp and malty, rather strong, nothing to Tweet about but still promising. It pours a clear straw yellow with a fluffy and not very persistent white head, about what one expects from beer of this type. Flavor is - well, there is a hint of malt, but not much to it. Texture is smooth and fairly fizzy, but body is below average. Well, the Philippines are not renowned for beer. Maybe we should send some craft brewers over there - or some Trappist monks. ;)

look: 2.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

Poured from a 330ml can labeled "Red Horse Beer Extra Strong" with the label indicating a 7% abv. (Perhaps the "Malt Liquor" name is used in a different market?) Looks pretty much like a fizzy yellow beer, except maybe ever lighter--pale yellow straw. Straw is in the nose too, along with some sweet malt and rice.

First sip is pretty much as expected--lots of carbonation, thin mouthfeel, lot of sweet from the malt, corn, and rice. Not particularly flavorful, but not bad either. The 7% alcohol by volume is surprisingly well hidden for a malt liquor.

Not a beer I'd revisit by choice, though if you're stuck with a selection of rice lagers and looking something with a non-offensive alcohol kick Red Horse isn't too bad.
