Killian's, Irish Red

Neat color - reddish copper.  I've never seen this color before.  I think I'll call it "ropper".

Nothing interesting about the smell.  Mostly malt.

Tastes unimpressive.  Malty and... well... there's a bit of honey.  I wouldn't mind having a few of these and a brat or two with my bro's (if i had bro's), but not worth going out of the way to find it.

Meh.

Thomas Creek, Appalachian Amber Ale

Crystal clear copper.  Nice alabaster head.  Smells like a typical American amber ale.  Nothing unique, but still pleasant.

It's advertised as 40 IBU, but I think it might be a little higher.  High carbonation.  There's some good flavor on the font end, but it's quickly assassinated by the bitterness.

I'm typically content with amber and red ales, but this one just isn't appealing to me.
