Jan 20, 2010 A sharp looking ceramic bottle. Chilled. It’s golden, slightly hazy with a white wisp of a head. I searched my cupboards for something resembling a kolsch glass: no luck. But, as I have never had one before, I have little idea how this beer measures up. There’s grain in the aroma, some distant honey too. Mouthfeel is pretty thin. It’s not heavily carbonated either. I taste grass, a fair bit of dandelion, more honey. It begins bitter but becomes a bit more sweet. Finishes short.

Jan 6, 2010 Sweet and grainy malts. Some spiciness and finishes with a pleasant, mild bitterness. Nothing outstanding, but well-balanced overall.

Dec 28, 2009 Reddish golden in colour with a thin white initially large head, light lacing. The aroma is herbal and floral, grainy with some cereal and dirt. The flavour is lightly sweet at first turning bitter, some herbal hop bite in this, pale malts with lots of cereal. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, light body, medium carbonation. Finishes long, sweet turning to bitter, dry.
Pretty straight forward but that seems to be the case with most flagship offerings.
750ml bottle obtained in a trade with TheJester, thanks Andy.
Opened on December 28, 2009.

Dec 19, 2009 750 ml ceramic bottle from LCBO. Pours a clear yellow gold with small white head. Aroma of bread, light herbs and a slight sweetness. Taste is very bready with honey and light herbs. Crisp finish. Ok.

Dec 4, 2009 Big ceramic capped bottle shared before Grey Cup. Yellow with a thin head. Grainy chewy aroma. Similarities to, but not as good or chewy or hoppy as Trois Mousquetaires Kellerbeer. Definately flavourful.

Dec 4, 2009 Meh, it’s not bad. I like the packaging but the beer doesn’t really deliver what the packaging seems to promise. This isn’t really a standout beer, but it’s not bad. The aroma super bready malts, with some grassy hops, some floral notes, and an odd note of playdough. The flavour is a little touch of honey at first, some bread, grain, citrus rind, ends on a lightly dry, bitter, soap taste, but not really in a bad way.

Weak hay aroma plus some sweet malt. Clear yellow topped by an thin, white film. Pleasant hay flavour with a little corn/DMS and moderate bitterness. A nice lager, if a bit weak. Clean finish, moderate carbonation, light body.
