UPDATED: MAY 14, 2023 Pint at Dukes on Sydenham in Strathroy on 12 May 2023. House beer but I have had worse house beers. Musty aroma with a clean crisp mouthfeel and an earthy flavour. There’s some nice white lacing left in the glass.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2019 Pours dull yellow with tiny white head that goes away fast without leaving any lacing behind. Low carbonation. Aroma of corn syrup. Plesant dry finish to it. Medium body.

UPDATED: MAR 2, 2019 Can. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity grainy aroma. Fruity grainy dry bitter flavor. Has a fruity malty grainy dry bitter finish.

UPDATED: OCT 7, 2018 Ceci a été une des premières bières que j'ai bu dans ma jeunesse. Après l'avoir essayé dernièrement, j'ai de la difficulté à comprendre comment j'ai pu en boire plusieurs. Je trouve qu'elle manque de goût et je préfère l'eau à ce liquide.

33 cl bottle. Pours pale golden, clear, with a white head. Aroma is boozy: juniper, gooseberry, booze. Taste is dry, medium-bodied, short-lingering. Bah.

UPDATED: OCT 8, 2018 Late bloomer to beer drinking but my tastes have changed and with so many different ones to try I’ve been doing some sampling. Basically I’m looking for a few different types of beer to treat myself with and call them my “go to’s”. I’ve found that I enjoy something that has a standard to light initial taste, little to no after taste and not sit like a bowling ball in my stomach. I’m no expert on tastes and what have you, but I don’t need to be to know what I like, and if we have similar tastes then I hope you find this helpful. I am very surprised by this beer. I say that knowing going into this that it’s a “value” type of beer. It needs to be ice cold to enjoy it to the fullest. Moderate initial lager taste with a mild to low after taste. I think this is where the “paleness” of this beer helps the 5.5% alcohol content. It’s an easier stronger beer to drink. A little on the gassy side but had no problems burping it up. No bloating and I have a bit of a troubled tummy in the first place, so that’s a thumbs up. Overall, this guy doesn’t get a podium position for me... not even close really. But not bad, it has a place in my top 10 at least. Would drink again.

From old tasting notes. Pale yellow gold color. Creamy white head. Faint tart malt aroma. bittersweet malt flavor has light bitter hops. Light dry finish

Ma biere de jeunesse. Bonne petite bière mais qui ne fait plus le poids contre les micros.

Ce cher Pinker n’avait pas tort lorsqu’il affirmait haut et fort que cette bière était une anti-bière (Maïs et maltose au nez) sauf qu’on ne l’écoutait pas vraiment parce qu’il avait une réputation de prétentieux, il nous reprenait sur la prononciation de Bach et pourquoi les gens de Ville Mont-Royal disaient qu’ils habitaient TMR. Il n’avait pas beaucoup de modestie (saveurs sucrées et légèrement maltées) Bref, ce n’était pas une mauvaise personne pour autant, mais il a perdu des plumes lorsqu’il s’est mis à pleurer comme une fillette après s’être fait prendre à voler un pédalier Campagnolo. Nous sommes en 1989 ou 90 et cette bière me rappelle cette époque. (Ça se boit comme un rien cette bière) (1996-101016)

UPDATED: JUL 19, 2016 Fizzy yellow pour, head lasts 2 seconds longer than its bretheren. Grainy, light sulphur in the aroma - odd. Less on the sweet side, very light corn, grainy. Light body and higher carbonation. For a macro beer you could do far worse I guess.
