A pretty average beer. Nothing really stands out about it, but I suppose it was drinkable. Tasted more like a premium lager.

Malty flavor with slightly creamy body. Reminds me more of a blonde ale than a pale ale as it is not very hoppy. Nice macrobrew.

Had this for the first time years ago, but apparently haven’t rated it yet... I love the aroma, it was a welcome surprise from an InBev product. The taste was a little different than anything I’ve had and it was pretty good. I’m a fan, but it’s not one of my favorites... but it is good. Winner Winner.

Overall Impression: Usually one of the better macro options at a place that doesn’t offer great beers. I give it credit for having some taste and being better then its competition at most restaurants.

Can’t believe I haven’t rated this. Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet with the caramel malts and a slight hint of some hops. Flavor is the same but does not linger long. Flavor is very disappointing with this one.

On Tap. Pours a lighter golden color with a small white head. Not much aroma to comment on, mostly malts. Balance of hops and malts is a little towards the malty side. A thin body.

Draft. Pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. A light aroma of malt. Flavor is also light, some malt sweetness, a little nutty, a little metallic and not much in the way of hops. Easy to drink. As good a session beer you can expect to find in many big-name chain restaurants in the U.S.

I tried this beer on August 13, 2008 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a beautiful translucent red colour with a thin off-white cap. The aroma was nutty malt with some hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, slightly creamy, and ample carbonation. The flavour was very malty with a hint of hoppish bitterness. Some nutty character certainly came through.
