Can courtesy of matt7215. Pours yellow with a white head. Smells of sweet malt and some stray hops. Tastes sweet and appley.

341 ml bottle. pours pale yellow with a slightly below average thin white head. Aroma of malt, and some grains and minimal hops. some floral notes and grassyness. light-medium body with oily mouthfeel. It’s like a discount version of MGD.

341ml bottle pours a pale golden color with a small white head that leaves no lacing on the glass. Aroma is mild grains and hops. Taste is light malt sweetness with a moderate hop bitterness. Thin body and modest carbonation. Typical macro lager.

Originally rated July 2005. This beer use to come in brown stubby bottles, now I got this 12 which is in clear 341ml bottles. Pours a pale yellow colour with minimal carbonation. Not much head, nor lacing. Smells nice malt with some bitterness. The taste is grain malt, maybe mixed in with corn... but quite refreshing. Mouthfeel is half watery and half creamy. Good summer brew but prefer their bitter, Brick Conner’s Best Bitter.

Brighter yellow than normal and a semi-solid head. Aroma of wood and particle board glue mixed with two day-old socks. Flavour is a vague mix of hops and adjuncts creating a smooth glass-like film on the tongue akin to a high-alcohol malt liquor. If you have friends you don’t like, this would make a perfect beer to offer them when they come over.

473ml can. Labeled as "Red Baron Premium Blonde Lager" with 4.8% ABV, so here’s hoping its the right one. Colour was bright yellow/used beer. Voluminous foamy white head. Smell is sweet and skunky. Taste is much the same with a bit of sour and hops at the end. Palate was dry and a little thin. Overall, not a winner.

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2012 Very pale, no head. Faint fruity corny aroma. Sweet grainy macro industrial swill taste. No hops, average carbonation. Sweet cloying finish. LF (Lagerboy Friendly)

Bottle of "Red Baron Premium Blonde Lager Gold Medal Winner", but apparently just new packaging from the company website. Beer is very clear and transparent. No head despite bottle a few degrees warmer than usual serving temperature. Taste is hard to describe, starts complex but hard to pick out any flavours, and finishes with a mild bitter hoppy taste. Probably best served cold on a hot day.

A blonde lager wuth a thin white head. A mineral malt aroma with light chalky notes. In mouth, a rather light malt with oily mouthfeel, faint to inexistent hops, boring. 500 ml can from LCBO, used for cooking.

I’ve had this a few times in the past and it’s everything you would expect. Your standard macro taste and look.

473 ml can from LCBO. Pours a clear yellow-gold with moderate-sized, lasting white head. Muted nose of harsh grains and some grassiness. Taste of sour, harsh grains with some grassy bitterness in the finish. Pretty weak.
