I have been told the Keith's out here is garbage and to really enjoy the beer you have to head out to the maritimes.
I have also been told that Moose Head is called "Moose Piss" out there, but it is my favourite beer and I prefer it much more than Keith's.
I am also a huge fan of Rickard's. I love all of their beer, I don't think that Rickard's White is any worse than Bud Light Limes in terms of beer pansification.
Rickard's Red during play offs is a tradition for me.
But nothing, and I mean nothing, beats an ice cold Pilsner while I watch my Riders GO GREEEEEEEENENENENENENENEENENENENEN ALL OVER YO STAMPS
ALLL OVER YOO STAMPPPSS
BOOOOOYYYAAAA
I AM THE 13THHH MANNNN YESSSSSSS 13TH MAN FOR VICTORY

On tap. Pours a rich amber color with small beige head. I do not get the supposed metallic taste everyone else does, maybe it’s there to a very slight extent, but it’s by no means a big factor. Malty and fairly sweet, with some dryness. By no means a great beer but a serviceable beer and I don’t get too hesitant about settling for a pint of this when there is little else on offer.
Red is poop. Do a blind taste test between it and Canadian some time. Indistinguishable.
I liked White until I learnt that it pushed Velvet Fog out of Calgary Pubs in some sort of stupid exclusivity deal crap.
Maybe for someone who knows nothing about beer.
If by indistinguishable you mean completely different then yes, you are correct.
RR is an ale. Canadian is a pale lager. Because they are brewed by the same company there may be similarities in ingredients but other than the fact that neither are overly flavorful they share few, if any similarities.

A Molsons rep told a friend that RR is Canadian with food coloring. Hearsay, urban legend?

Blind taste tests are required.
I've had both recently at a Flames game (not the best indicator I know) and they are similar but certainly not the same. By similar, I mean neither are particularly unique. They are both a little bland and not particularly flavourful but that doesn't make them the same.
Canadian is closer to Kokanee than it is to RR.
Also, I hope you and your friend took that info with a grain of salt. You really think that they just add red food coloring? You are surely smarter than that.
As I said, one is a lager and one is an ale. They aren't even brewed the same way.
With similar ingredients they may taste vaguely similar but I assure you they aren't the same.

While Duff Beer comes in several varieties, it is revealed on a Duff Brewery tour in "Duffless" that regular Duff, Duff Light, and Duff Dry are the same beer, although Homer and Barney apparently remain oblivious to the fact.

Truth is often stranger than fiction.
That was a truly hilarious Simpsons episode. And while I don't doubt that anything that comes out of a major brewery is mass produced and shares similarities I think that I could probably tell the difference.
Next time I'm at a pub I'll order a pint of each and I'll try a sip of each, blind. I'm certainly no beer connoisseur but I like to think I'm a pretty knowledgeable beer drinker. We'll see if I can live up to my claim.
Guide: What does the future hold for us? Heh. Let's just say we have
a few ideas up our sleeve. Homer: Like what? Guide: Um, I'd rather not get into it right now. Homer: Why not? Guide: All right, we don't have any ideas for the future. We got
nothing. Happy? Homer: [whiny] No.

Tried some of the Trois Mousquetaires beers recently, I liked a few that they had in their big bottles, but the sampler pack of regular sized beers was horrendous. Every single one was terrible. Stay far away. I haven't had as bad a beer as that since Ft. Garry's or gluten free beers.
Jesus, whats with all the Keith's hate in here? You all must be a bunch of spilly talkers.
Justified, imo. I'm happy to read I'm not the only one that thinks so. That's one of the beers I have never understood the reason for its popularity. That along with Heineken and Carlsberg.

Keiths is gross, piss gross. Anyone who thinks that's a decent beer is a sucker for marketing or likes the takes of gross beer.
Completely agreed with Heineken and Carlsberg. In Europe those are the bottom of the barrel. Here in Canada they're 'European' so they are sophisticated.
Throw Stella in on that pile too. What a terrible brew.
Amazing how marketing can make you defy your own damn taste buds.
