Mar 17, 2010 [2809-20100316] 500mL bottle. Aroma is a dead ringer for old wax crayons with strong musty grass and earth notes. Slightly hazy, light brown yellow body with a big medium-lasting foamy white head. Cold liquid dusty wax flavour with a long semi-sweet cardboard finish. Medium body. Pleasant.

Mar 16, 2010 2010-03-16. Deep yellow body with a slight chill haze, large foamy white head. 3+ Mild aroma, lightly grassy/floral and a mild yeasty undercurrent. 6+ Flavour is similar, floral yeasty character, light grainy bite in the finish along with a slightly sharp bitterness. Doughy touches. Average palate is well carbonated. Floral notes get a bit odd as the glass goes on, light notes of vegetation. Not really to my tastes, but it is pleasant and fairly drinkable. Bottle from Marche de Saveurs, Montreal

Dec 29, 2009 Hazy golden with a thick white foamy head showing above average retention. Aroma is floral hops,a bit of citrus, a hint of spices and grains. Flavor is grains, floral hops, citrus and sugar with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Medium body with a slightly oily mouthfeel. Quite interesting for a pale lager.

Jun 14, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Fat, nearly buttery cereals appear even lazier because of the feeble carbonation, offering complacent sweetness over a delicate herbal hop finish.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam quickly sinks into the cloudy dark golden.
-DMS winks within; chick peas are not any lager’s friend.
-This doesn’t seem to have been conditioned (or mashed?) quite well. It is still a drinkable pint, but subtle problems lurk within.
-The mouthfeel is definitely not crisp enough for the style.
