Lubiere (3324), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Feb 15, 2007 A pale yellow lager with a thin white head. Pissy aroma with corn adjunct and light sulfur. In mouth, a chalky malt with faint hopping, mineral, a bit oily. Can. Bought in a non descript liquor store on Jasper Ave in Edmonton, for 2.50$....rip-off. Rob_Bestwick (555), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England Dec 9, 2006 Light hoppy aroma, very pale in colour, small head that disappears very quickly, very thin in texture, fresh and hoppy taste, not much of an aftertaste. This isn’t an overly good beer - but its not bad either. DuffMan (1962), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Nov 20, 2006 Bought a single can for $0.75 from the shopping cart in Willow Park. The best of the three cheapies (the others were AB Genuine Draft and Alta Light), all made by Big Rock even though this can says different (I agree with Oakes’ rant, see below). Clear golden yellow, fresh grainy aroma with a clean palate that is on the sweeter end. Not bad at all, and miles ahead of the Alberta Genuine Draft in my opinion, but still in the end a low-end, cheap, can-only generic pale lager. tiggmtl (4179), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 17, 2006 Very sweet aroma is all creamed corn with some soapy floral character. Very clear golden body beneath a very shy, large bubbled, fully diminishing head. Metallic notes offset the sweet creamed corn in the unpleasant flavour. Very light and gassy with thin, watery body and very strong carbonation that unpleasantly pricks the tongue which is more or less thankfully short-lived. If you’re going to make a beer to compete with the macros, make a good beer to compete with them. This just gives small breweries a bad name. Tulip glass. Fridge temperature. Can (Oct-06). Thanks, Oakes! CapFlu (3340), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Sep 30, 2006 (Can) Courtesy of Oakes. All I can really say is this is one of the shittiest beers I have tasted in a long, long, long time. It’s nose wasn’t too bad - kinda an watery corn oil but the flavour was soapy, corny and crap. Words don’t describe the disappointment. Isn’t the brewer a panelist on BeerBasics? Does he qualify as a beer judge if his tastebuds are so badly damaged that he cannot taste how bad this is??
