can. Poured clear amber with a receding white head. Light grainy hop aroma. Crisp mouthfeel. Creamy & malty, mellow bready flavour but a bit grainy. Tinny metallic bitter finish.

500ml can from LCBO. Nothing special here. Crystal clear golden colour with medium white head. Mild. Pretty tasteless in fact. Skip this one.

Silver can from that place in Whitestone that used to be a garage, then a chippy, then a Netto. Bright gold beer with a skim of froth. Bit of a wet dog aroma; caramel hints, boiled sweets, rubber, Madeira cake- strong lager. Palate has Rice Crispies, cereal, hints of boiled vegetable petering into a vapid, wet air finish. No aftertaste. The kind of lager that gives lager a bad name; I might grudgingly sink a few frosted mugs of it by the pool in Greece or Turkey, but not here, not tonight. It’s not actively offensive just very, very watery. May tip out of boredom.

UPDATED: APR 13, 2012 500ml can. Fairly uninteresting beer. Nice aroma and appearance, with avg head and lace. Clear yellow (Lovibond 5). Fairly flat medium bodied texture and taste. Light flavours. Odd metallic aftertaste at first that goes away once youre into it. Uninspired.

March 20 2012. 500ml can poured into lager glass. Bright gold colour with nice fluffy 1" white head. Head fades to thin layer halfway but very nice lacing endures. Strong hops smell at first with hints of sweet grass. Good carbonation. Wet palate, not strong at all. Overpowering metallic bite dominates palate and aftertaste. Hint of citrus but more acidic than flavourful. Cheap, but that only matters if the beer doesn't and that only matters when buying a case not a can. I only mention cost because unfortunately its the best feature.

500ml can, 5% a/v Pours an average lager, medium gold, white head. Aroma is hoppy and grassy, somewhat similar to Budvar. Taste is not even close to budvar. Metallic, wet leather, and an earthyness very close to dirt.. not impressed. Palate is full but you want the taste to stop. Overall.. bad, but I finished it, so not awful.

500ml can. Crystal clear golden yellow appearance with good but short-lived foamy white head. Mild chalk and grain aroma. Very mild hop bitterness, slightly tinny with mild grain taste. Thin texture and light body and mild carbonation. Does not live up to the moniker “premium”.

Can. Yellow with a small head,.A weak body considering its strength. Nothing else to say about it. Its not a drain poorer just pretty bland. One for a summers afternoon only if nothing, and I mean nothing else is around.

Can. Golden with an off white foam. Aromas are cereal and butter with hints of lemon. Metallic notes with pepper. Flavours are grain with crisp lemon and slick, oily butter. Heavily carbonated with hints of grassiness. Pretty bad.

This is my 2nd time or well at least not 1st time with it. Still as good as I remembered. cheap 1.95 a can in Canada. I smell a warmth from the hops and nothing else. Its heavy bodie from hops,I can taste some lemon/citrus type taste a bite and its really smooth and just really good. I would drink again! cheer’s. :)

50 cL can from the LCBO, served in a lager glass. Pours clear straw-golden with a moderate white head. The head fades slowly to a thin cover, leaving a moderate amount of fine lace. On the nose, there are notes of grass and pale malts. The flavour is moderately honey sweet with a hint of grassy hops. The finish is moderate in length and somewhat bitter with a grassy note. On the palate, it is light in body with a dry texture and average carbonation. Overall, this pale Euro lager is mediocre at best. Nothing interesting going on here. 2011-09-14
