Had years ago in St. John’s (Newfoundland) when I ponied up to the bar and asked for "something local". Lo and behold, a forgettable malty experiment that is hard to differentiate from anything else that Molson’s has made.... though this one was a bit darker, more of an amber-style beer than a pale lager thing. It did the trick, and for awhile I mistook it for a microbrew, but in fact it’s hard to give much respect to.

Originally reviewed Mar. 9, 2007: joy. getting to try this beer, in can no less. meh. poured with big bubble head that didn’t last at all. colour is a light gold. doesn’t really smell like much at all. taste boasts the same. some light malts. ’bout it. i can see this beer maybe being just good enough to pound back and get drunk on.

341ml bottle pours a golden color with a 2 finger white head that settles quite quickly leaving a few spots of lacing behind. Aroma is cheap grains and faint hops with a little bit of skunkiness. Taste is light malt sweetness with a bit of grassy hops and skunk. Terrible beer.

341ml bottle from John L Pours a golden hay with a big white frothy head normal pale lager The aroma is malt and wet hay again standard macro pale Taste is malt wet hay very metallic tasting iI don’t know what people get out of these macro pales yuk

Great, easy drinking beer. I have only had it in Newfoundland so I will drink it anytime I’m having cod cheeks again.

This lager poured a crystal clear, light yellow colour with a really fast dissipating, bright white head. to the nose there are scents of corn, a little skunk, sour ??? First taste was like water. "East coast, White Bread muck" to be exact. Light malt flavour followed by a nice metallic taste.... do I really need to say more.

From about 30 years ago, I tasted this brew (a college pal of me used to wear the bottle caps as medals as a joke) - Yeah, it tasted pretty much like any macro-brew, but it wasn’t bad.

A very bland macro lager overall. I wish I could rate it higher for sentimental reasons but I simply can’t do it. It lacked any personality and the taste was slightly bitter. It had a light body, thin texture and was too fizzy for me, and I like a good amount of carbonation typically. The finish was abrupt. Disappointing, unfortunately.

Bright gold brew with an off white cap, really good lacing, a good ammount of carbs and some unfiltered floaties. Aroma was pretty stinky, like cheap grainy malts, barley, lawn and some sweetness. Overall it’s pretty much in line with other cheap Canadian brews. Taste was malty and dry with some yeast. You can notice some chemicals and a small ammount of hops. Medium bodied with a somewhat rough feel with some sour bitterness in the middle. Ends dry. I don’t mind this beer one bit.

Golden yellow body with a thin white cap produced during the poor but was gone in just a few seconds, just looks like you everyday average beer. Weak smelling malts, and wow after the first sniff all sent has disappeared nothing can be detected, but at least no smell is better then a bad one. Old tasting beer, all malt kinda stale, some chemicals, with a massive bread after taste. It’s a drinkable beer nothing great, and since I got for free it was worth the money
