YOT 3,743 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm not a regular drinker and haven't been for years. I have, though, found a love for Redd's Apple Ale. Great stuff. Has anybody else tried it yet? It reminds me of the old apple Malt Duck back in the '70's (before I could drink, LOL). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I havent tried it yet, but I do want to. Theres a small pub here locally that has an alcoholic apple cider that is excellent. The cool thing about this place is that all the drinks they serve are imported. I do want to try some Redds though. I love the commercials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beretty 37 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I always walk by it in Walmart. Always temted to try it but something about it just tells me not to. Is it like hard cider? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yep, but it's ale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I laid off the sauce last year under coercion at first but later on by choice. Never a heavy drinker, hardly ever drank liquor, but loved to pound the malt beverages down. Ever so often I still get a craving for Mickey's Malt Liquor or just same plain old Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull. I could get CRAZY pounding those things down... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 back in high school, we had the "bull ice challenge" at parties. The challenge was to drink four bull ice 22oz-ers within an hour. Not many passed the challenge - I never did. I usually topped out at 2. I was never a huge drinker, since my body's reaction to lots of alchol is "hey, we're drunk, let's go to sleep" - kept me out of a lot of trouble. Still, I sometimes think of that sweet bull ice swill and stench. Might pick one up for old time's sake. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VR762Shooter 838 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) My wife loves Woodchuck hard cider but hasnt gone for the Reds yet. I will have to try it if she picks some up. I don't often drink very sweet drinks, especially alcohol, with the diabetes Edited March 14, 2013 by VR6Shooter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Le Hachoir 16 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 It's okay, but tastes more like a wine cooler than ale. Usually stick to IPA's like Sierra Nevada, Goose Island, Inversion and Ranger, but will pound La Fin Du Monde's when I can get them. I would drink if someone gave it to me, but not spending near $9 for a pack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our local LS puts protective plastic mesh things over 40s when you buy more than one.

It had damn well better end up a notch better than "Natural Ice"!!! If so, I prefer lagers and wheat ales. Yuengling lager is my choice. It's "America's Oldest Brewery" and their main brewery is about an hour from my hometown. Hate light beers (other than Yuengling). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jpanzer 1,265 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Yuengling has taken off down here in Dixie, most of the bars hawk that stuff nowadays. Not bad, but really just a average beer to me. Personally I've always liked the Hefeweizens. Paulaner and Shiner Bock are both kick ass wheat beers...

Beretty 37 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 It is an average beer. You guys are comparing it to premium stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arik 565 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Yuengling is local to me, kinda, but its nothing great just slightly less then ok. Its the most common local beer here in the tri state are for ever (Pa, NJ, DE). Ive never heard of redds. I ued to be a fan of IPA but not so much any more. My favorite are Belgian Ales. Seisons, with double bocks and Stouts closely behind. My most favotrite Duele Teve Weyerbacker Merry Monks triple Weyerbacker Old Heathen stout Round Guys triple Round Guys Fuzzy Muttness stout Pawel Kwak Delirium Unibreu La Fin Du Monde Unibreu 17 Unibreu ...well most of their stuff Omagang 3 philosophers double and triple St. Bernardous - all of them Yards Seison Goose Island Soffie Seisson Goose island Nut brown ale Lienenkugel Canoe Paddler ( not a bad light summer ale, refreshing) Lienenkugel Wee Heavy Scotch Ale Lienenkugel Baltic Porter I need time to remember more Edited March 15, 2013 by Arik Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 ^^^I became addicted to Lienenkugel Summer Shandy this past summer. If you told me that a lemon flavored beer was good I would have punched you in the face. But... It *IS* good... Exceptionally refreshing on a hot day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frz1197 128 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Yuengling is good. I prefer the Porter or the Black and Tan over the lager. Their normal beer is good if you can find it. Penn Pilsner is a classic also if you can find any Church Brew Works stuff. Pious Monk Dunkle is awsome. Recently ive been on a Guinness binge. Normal, extra stout, black lager; its all good.

Arik 565 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Funny, just last evening I was at a bar enjoying some Flying Fish Grand Cru and Farmhous summer ale when the Redd commecial came on tv...I was like,,,,"hey I just read about that"!! ^^^I became addicted to Lienenkugel Summer Shandy this past summer. If you told me that a lemon flavored beer was good I would have punched you in the face. But... It *IS* good... Exceptionally refreshing on a hot day. If you liked that try some Seasons (aka Farmhouse Ale) from Goose Island and Yards or any real Belgian season. Less "fruit" flavor but oh so good on a summer day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have not seen them in my area yet. I'll keep an eye out. I like good tasting brew, so I'll give this a try when I find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Haven't tried Redd's but may this weekend. I'm a huge fan of Shocktop! All of them except the raspberry... Of course, I may have to crack open a bottle of my homemade apple mead tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Well I had one today at the bar, I must say that it wasnt bad. It kinda tasted a bit on the weak side, but for those looking for a good tasting stiff drink other than liquor, this is a good choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
