TheSportHump Beer Review: Red Wolf

*Thanks to Champ over at Three Idiots on Sports for reminding me of this beverage that intends to mimic our uncontrollable restraint for liquid freedom!


Heading into the summertime, along with the sound of crackin' Louisville sluggers, the smell of pine tar and women wearing those beautiful sun skirts, nothing is more gratifying than grabbing a cold one out of the igloo on a hot summer day. Since I (Poncho Sinatra) spend my days in the food and beverage development business, I figured I would add some critiques of the most popular American draughts across the country. I will not segregate premium ales, nor inferior lagers, just a straight opinion on what is on your shelf at the local grocer, dive bar or convenient store.

Get ready to Howl at the Moon with Red Wolf....

The timing of this review and the sale of Anheuser-Busch to the Belgium Brewing Giant InBev, make me wonder some of the choices Nascar's favorite organization made. I have to be honest, this was pretty bad. I had to drive "deep into the night" Benny Mardones style to find this lovely six pack. We found it at Piggly Wiggly in the deep south tucked behind a Natural Ice-Light-Dry-Energy-Calcium added-reduced carb case. The can made me want to put a grey sweatshirt on with the Howling at the moon moniker protruding from my chest.













This is a Bud with a tea-spoon of sugar and a drop of red and brown food coloring. They proceed put it in a bottle with a wild animal on the label and came out with a new beer. Shame on you Augustus, or Maximus...Whatever your name is. Don't get me wrong, I have drank a lot of shitty beer in my life, but this beer is pushing on Utica Club Light quality. Not to be served under a white tent, with a fusion-jazz ensemble and eating rare grades of complex sushi pairings.......

The Product~

The flavor is bitter and not really a "red" flavor coming out. Some maltiness, but you can tell it is A-B being gimmicky. Not easy at all to drink and I got a free 6er of this because of my pull with shitty beer reviews. Horrible body, shady foam and a distinct odor of the left field bathrooms at Yankee stadium on a hot, humid August afternoon. It is Amber in color with a slightly watery with a light, burnt hoppy taste. Welcome to Red Wolf InBev, welcome....




According to Lou Score,"Will get comment later."
According to Poncho Sinatra,"Taste like Nancy Kerrigans leg after the cast removal."
According to Mark,"I get my Red-on with the Wolf brothers...I actually like it."
