Handwritten notes: That might be the best one from the Keith's sample pack... nice and bitter and packed with ale flavour... I am surprised... "Canada's best selling red beer" (Rickard's Red) is not the best... of the three Alexander Keith's beers, this is the only one I didn't really want to try... but it is head and shoulders above the others... Spicy and flavourful ale.
