Appearance – Clear brown colour with an average size fizzy beige coloured head. There is a low amount of carbonation visible and there is a fair amount of lacing. The head lasted for around 5 minutes before it was gone.

Smell - Malts, brown sugar/caramel

Taste & Mouth - The beer has an average amount of carbonation and I can taste malts, caramel and some light very very light hops. Really there isn't a whole lots of taste here.. maybe a hint of nuts. It ends with a malty slightly sweet aftertaste.

Overall – Was over at a friends house and wasn't going to turn this beer down even though I'm not a huge fan of it. At least it's a step in the right direction from most of the other boring macros out there.

Rickard's Red, it's a beer that I'm unfortunately drawn to as there is NO GOOD BEER in the small town of Waterford, Ontario. Alas it's not disgusting, it's a so so beer that isn't good but isn't bad. There's a small amount of flavor, and it's not off putting.

Smells like a slightly breadier than usual macro lager, as to be expected. A hint of maltiness, not much else.

Not very dissimilar to the nose, it's a beer that I can gulp without the nauseating feeling of having to put it back in the glass.

Like I said, there's no good beer out here, you either get used to it or you put up some cash and drive a lot. Seriously, I have to drive 25 minutes to get to an LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) that stocks about 10 decent craft beers that aren't macro produced wannabes. For the real good stuff I have to drive 45 minutes to an hour. Don't waste your time with this beer unless you're in my position. I moved from just outside of Philadelphia to here, Beer Hell.

Rickard is Canada's Leienkugels, I take it? Solid, well-priced beers that beer snobs tend to hate because neophyte beer people mistake them for legit craft brews.

This is a lightly hopped, bready, well balanced red ale. Very drinkable though not really exceptional in any way. I wish I had more to say but I don't because, really, not all that much was going on here.

A step up for a macro: a bit more flavorful than, say, Molson, and with absolutely no off nodes.
