Overall, a good drinking lager. Purchased in the "monster can" (710mL) from LCBO in Ontario.

710ml supercan poured a pale straw color with a big white head that settled quickly and left virtually no lacing. Aroma is grain. Taste is sweet corn and an undesirable hoppy bitterness. A below average lager.

Canette 710ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de maïs sucré, de grains de malt assez sucrés, léger de sucre blanc avec des notes de légumes bouillis et des traces de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) et de fruits (jus de pommes). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture très légèrement aqueuse et aux faibles notes sirupeuses. Faibles traces fruitées (pommes trop mûres) accompagné d’un goût de sucre blanc et de petites notes de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel de rajoute rapidement un goût de grains de malt sucrés avec un léger goût de maïs sucré puis en finale l’on retrouve de faibles notes de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé). Post-goût court, composé d’un restant de goût sucré chimique avec de faibles traces herbeuses.

I know this is the worst beer at least in North America primarily because it was the only beer I couldn’t finish. If someone offers you one, when they aren’t looking try and poke a hole into the bottom of the can. If it spills out at least it can’t harm you...and continue to pretend drinking it. Before anyone offers you a second Boxer Ice, mumble something about an appointment and walk quickly to the nearest exit.

May long weekend, opening up the lake with Parksy-- it’s malt likra time! I guess this is more of a pale lager, but it sure satisfies the shit-factor that I’m after in a canned lake beer. Urinal scented, tinny grainy -- another piece of shit from Minhas.

710ml monster can from the lcbo. pours golden with a nice white head. it actually looks pretty good. very sweet aroma, pretty syrupy. the flavour follows suit. tons of sugar in the adjunts bomb. like a poorly made triple.

710 can from The Beer Store. Pours a light, bright yellow with moderate-sized white head that rapidly recedes to a little white scruff. Aroma in a word is cheap - harsh grains, sweet corn and some alcohol. Taste is equally uninspiring - sickly sweet corn, nasty grains, almost a little gasoline and a wet dog finish. Quite thin. Absolutely terrible.

710 MONSTER CAN from TBS, served cold in a tulip glass.

App.: Clear golden with a thin veil of white. Aroma: Mainly acetone, acetyl and ass; honestly, these are the aromas...no poetic license for the sake of alliteration, gross sweetness, cereals, grains, malt liquor-esque BLECH. Palate: Medium body and carbonation. Flav.: Mercifully, less offensive than the nose; the defects persist, tempered by Sherry (is that a good thing??), a little more grain/cereal, still plenty awful; dry with an odd, cloying bitterness and a strangely fruity, problematic finish.

Among the worst beers I’ve ever rated and a very unwelcome addition to the Ontario beer scene. For shame, TBS and Minhas.

Can. Medium-gold; visibly high carbonation. Aromas of sugar, stale malt and wet bread. Extremely syrupy and sugary plus a wet cardboard finish creates a disgusting experience.
