A notch above Heineken, which isn’t saying a whole lot...no flavor or aftertaste instead of no flavor and bad aftertaste.

green bottle+beer=skunk

This one pours a clear, typically golden yellow lager color with a small, bubbly white head. The head dissipates and the beer has a big skunk aroma at first, but the skunkiness recedes revealing some mild hop floral notes and a bit of malty sweetness. It has a light body with moderate carbonation. The flavor is slightly hoppy up front, but everything is lost in the bland, watery finish. It has some slightly sweet corn notes against the traditional malt notes. Mediocre at best.

Fruity aroma, hay. Neutral, fruity taste (grapes). No hopbitterness, watery.

12oz green bottle. Clear golden. Pale malt aroma, some steamed vegetables. Flavor has a nice cardboard essence.

500ml tallboy from LCBO shared with a friend. Pale colour with a white head. Nothing much here. Touch of bitterness present in the mild hop presence on the palette. Nose is bread and malt. Thin and not very well craft.

660mL bottle. Haven’t tried this in ages, never realised it came in these longneck bottle. Pale gold body, white foam hangs around. Skunky malt aroma, bit cidery and moussy. Full body, reasonably decent on the palate. More skunky, mousiness combines with metallic malts. Not particularly tasty; I can imagine this would get pretty nasty as it warms.

Weak flavor, nothing distinctive from other pale lagers. Pretty sweet. No hop flavor.
