Swillfest ’05
Straw colour. Grainy, straw aroma. Watery and weak. Too boring to hate.

Very pale straw colour, thin head. Very sweet, grassy aroma. Flavour is also sweet, grainy straw flavour, low bitterness, no finish. Very boring.

Good for a spitting contest that is...

Crisp pale golden yellow with a white head that fades quickly. Bif of grassy grainy hops in the aroma. Nice crisp macro with hint of fruit esters but overall very watery and bland. Mondial 1T (Radek)

Bright white head , gold with medium carbonation . Sweet lightly hopped lager . Medium light body, rather on malty side .Simple, light, underrated, yes!

Can (355ml). Woo. Clear pale gold, average white bubbly head - looks like cheap macro lager. Pretty nasty aroma, like stale dog crap, cheap corn, light ricey alcohol and other crappy things that shouldn’t be in beer; dry, harsh, eventually sweet. Tastes like Blue Light, perhaps a little sweeter and less ugly - I’ve had worse - grainy, sweey, cheap and corny, buttery and harsh in the finish. Fizzy mouthfeel, watery body, quick finish and chemical aftertaste. Pretty much what you’d expect.

Stale lager, sweaty aroma. Clear golden with nice carbonation but very thin ring of white head. Plain. Slightly sweet macro lager flavour. Fairly lifeless in the mouth. Bottle (sampled at Mondial 2004).

This is another can that I found in the "odds & ends" basket at a small liquor store. It cost me $1.50. Pours a lemony pale yellow with a tall white head. Sharp grainy aroma, thin palate, pretty bland but with a clean finish. Not horrible, but ZERO character.

Canette de 355 ml achetée au Magasin Général (Baldwin Mills, QC). Arôme: Très légère odeur de maïs. Apparence: La couleur est blonde avec une très faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Léger goût de maïs avec une pointe citronnée. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps et la texture sont mince. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de maïs en arrière goût. (Rating #3785)

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2004 (Bottle) What the hell does the 7 represent? I must tell you my excitment upon seeing the 4.9% ABV. Pour a medium, frothy, white head and a clear, straw body. Floral, Goldings hops with a hint of lemon. Light tasting with some malt. Very watery and forgetable.
