MrManning (1415), London, Ontario, Canada Apr 2, 2008 Thanks to my sister for this beer. Pours a pale sparkling gold, leaving behind a white fizz with some lace. Faint fruity nose with some grainy/bread and pale malts. Breads and grains in the flavour profile with a slight infusion of hops and fruit. Not all that great, but decent for a macro pale. Decent slightly bitter lingering finish. albert_007 (409), Penobsquis, New Brunswick, Canada Oct 13, 2007 Black Arse. Yum! Pale golden, fizzy, corn. Flavor is corny liquor with a tinge of bitterness. Gassy, but very drinkable from the can in a Zodiac fishing on the Churchill river in Labrador. fro2218 (465), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 1, 2007 Blah. Some rotten malt flavors. This is not really drinkable. It should have stayed in Canada. adwoan99 (244), Ft. Worth, Texas, USA Nov 22, 2006 Brother brought it back from Newfoundland for me, so I gotta give it an extra point or two for sentimental reasons. Very little nose, appearance, pour, head all like every other bland lager. Taste, well... what little is there isn’t *horrible* but still lacks even the most basic qualities that make it a beer. I wish I could say more, but well, there’s not much else to say. Blegh. pootzboy (855), Calgary/ Kitchener, Alberta, Canada Sep 1, 2006 Hey an east coast macro that’s all malt!! Still has macro blandness but a passable quaff with a bucket of mussels.
Pale gold smallish white cap stays as a surface lace some lace on the glass.
Aroma of grains and sweetness.
Mild dose of sweet malts up front attenuated hops ride in the back until the finish where a surprising light burst of nobel hops cut the sweet bready taste.
A fair macro lager...probably the best of the few all grain macro lagers in the east.
