COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Single malt lager, made from pure glacial water, choice hops and our own lager yeast. Brewed without preservatives, additives or adjuncts. The result is an unusually clean, crisp beer with no bitter taste.

In dark light got some of orange hue, sweet malty aroma. Earthy, unpleasant mouth feel, flat and boring.

Damn sad to see a microbrewery stoop to such lows. They've embraced the American Standard style and come up with a realistic knockoff of a Bud but with a little added sweetness.

How stupid! Marketing American Standard beers to the general population must be high school kid"s dream job. The beer tastes fine. Can"t wait until the bars pick this "trendy beer" up and people try to order it: ’one kold beer, please.’ It"ll be like ordering "illegal" in Quebec in 1995.

This is about as close to mainstream lager a microbrewery can get

Clean and very crisp, not much to it though. Nice colour for a lager. Goes down real easy.

I have never drank a worse beer. The only positive thing I can say about it is that it is very easy to chug!
