Crankers Bulldog Red
Slightly sweet aroma. Very grainy and hearty malt flavor. Slightly sweet aftertaste, but also very clean malt grain flavor. Very reminiscent of the Dusseldorf Alt beers. Love it.

Faint rich sweet aroma. Sweet, clingy mouthfeel. Finishes with a moderate malt flavor that transitions into a hoppy flavor. Mild hoppy aftertaste.

Oskar Blues G’Knight
Moderate sweet smell with a bit of hoppiness. Full flavored sweetness that finishes off with a combination of hops, malt, and flavor of high alcohol. Aftertaste is a bit sweet, slightly harsh. Calls itself an Imperial Red IPA. Not sure which word the imperial goes with. Flavor-wise, I think it’s an imperial red that’s also hoppy.

Anheuser Busch Aruba Red
Slight sweet smell. Taste is initial harsh sweetness that sort of strangles your taste buds. But once that fades you’re left with a nice even malt aftertaste that lingers and fades slowly.
