The beers of FUTENMA part 2: San Miguel's RED HORSE!

Tonight I review RED HORSE extra strong brew, the devil of the Philippines, the horse, the ride into the drunken sunset, the night ender, the extra strong punch in the face of sobriety, the bad night, the life wrecker. It's 8% alcohol, $4.95 a six pack, and a wild ride.

Red Horse is a strong pale lager brewed by SMB in Hong Kong, the same brewery that brews and markets Kirin and Samuel Addams (both under license) to China and the South Pacific. They also used to distribute  Anheuser-Busch InBev products before realizing that they are the Satan of brewers.

So lets crack one of these baby's open. And to do that we turn to my favorite bottle opening tools

because I'm classy

It has a mild lager smell to it when I open the bottle, I'm going to use my nice Orion mug that I've let chill for a while.

When I pour it in, the beer does not create a large head, partially because I'm a professional at pouring, and partially because it's not a very heady beer.

The first sip has a mild apple like flavor. It's pleasant, I honestly cannot taste the alcohol. I have a much more substantial drink, it has a nice flavor, tastes much more like an ale than a lager. My, does that go down smooth. It's not a very filling beer, and I can already feel it's effects after just half a glass. This is why I call it the devil. It's good, real good, and that's what makes it dangerous. But you know me, I make a living handling explosives and my favorite hobbies are firearms and flying metal deathtraps (old cars, trucks, and attack helicopters)

I'm going to make some yakisoba and continue this review

With food, Red Horse it straight up refreshing. I'm telling y'all, high ABV beer and Japanese noodles are a great combination.
I give Red Horse two thumbs up. For something made by a massive brewing company, it's pretty good. This is a bachelors beer, something you don't want around the wife and kids, but out with the boys. Maybe I'm biased, I've had some good times hanging with the horse, but I think anyone who likes a generally good beer can appreciate it.
