San Miguel Red Horse Beer

Dug · September 23, 2009

San Miguel Red Horse Beer seems to have a slightly different target market here in the Philippines based on their website, but that is all good... still don't know the real ABV of this one as I get reports from the locals that it is 6.5 or 7.2 or 9.3... it says strong, doesn't it? :)  More likely high 6 if i were to guess, but could be wrong there.

The word stallion on the neck was speaking to me that night... telling me sweet nothings... "you... stallion..." I looked around... no one there... you talking to me?  "yeah... you... stud..."  I checked over each shoulder... realized I was the target of the beer's affection and began to blush... you shouldn't say such things you devil... and it went places I can't type from there...

Overall, not a bad brew.  It is kind of a dirty beer... meaning it is a little dodgy in its intentions... pretty sure that if I did have several of these, I would feel like a real stallion and act accordingly.  Need to be careful.

Weak aroma, strong body with some ABV.  Hops are more present than the other San Miguels I have tasted.  Finish isn't in your face but pleasant.  Overall one that isn't a bad brew but San Miguel makes some more well crafted brews to enjoy... the drunk on this one would be interesting, though... :)
