COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Those used to three week old, heavily filtered lagers made from ingredients other than malt - ours might surprise. All-malt mash and no filtration means at least six weel old beer. Hallertau Hops and genuine Bavarian Yeast add up to a Lager in it's purest form.

fiulijn (10383) - Como, ITALY - AUG 3, 2008
Draught at the brewpub, 10 IBU, 5% ABV
Pale blond color. Despite not being bold, it has some character and crispy touch. Well, among the Lagers it is quite pleasant.

Oakes (10184) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 12, 2001
UPDATED: JAN 26, 2006 Light bronze colour. Very sweet, toasty character. The body is oily and underattenuated. Stuck fermentation? Whatever it is, this beer was not ready for sale but they sold it to me anyway.

JoeMcPhee (6964) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 24, 2006
Golden colour. Fairly sweet malty aroma, caramel and toffee. A touch of diacetyl. Flavour is very buttery and sweet, light nuttiness lurking in back. Astringent finish. Underattenuated, sweet finish and has some nasty fusels in there as well.

Sammy (6119) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 31, 2011
On tap at the brewpub. One-eighth f an inch of head. Light yellow coloured body with rising carbonation bubbles present. Saaz hops used, carbonation is right there, a little acidic but also a little lemony notes. So-so drinkability.A tad below average mouthfeel.

tiggmtl (4475) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 15, 2011
Lightly spicy and grassy hops over a touch of corn in the nose. Clear yellow straw coloured body is topped by a low white fine bubbled and fizzy head that recedes rapidly to ring. Corn character is pleasant in the flavour without overwhelming. Spicy hop notes and light bitterness keep the sweetness in check. Perhaps a touch of sulfur in the aftertaste. Light body with fairly strong prickly carbonation. Sampled on tap at the brewpub.

DuffMan (4423) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 16, 2008
Bright golden with a chalk-white foamy cap. Sweet grainy aroma and palate with low grassy hop character and low bitterness in the finish. A clean and easy-drinking lager.

CapFlu (3798) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 29, 2008
(Draught) Sampler from the brewpub. Pours a near headless golden body. Nose of cereal and sour milk. Smooth flavour, a tad fizzy with a tonic grain finish. Slightly below average for this style. 4/2/4/3/9

GeneralGao (3545) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - MAR 12, 2009
Draft at the brewpub. Menu says 4.5% ABV, 10 IBU’s. Poured a clear gold color with a white head that left some lace behind on the glass. Smelled of pale malt and hay. Light to medium bodied with fresh cereal grain, grass, and subdued pine flavors. I also got an occasional hint of pineapple. Pretty standard.

swoopjones (3429) - Buffalo, New York, USA - MAR 2, 2010
draft in Whistler. Euro lager colored yellow. Czeck pale lager, some sweet malts, little to zero bitterness, boring
