3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
For a lager, which I enjoy, this was a very good one. Some sweetness, not completely opaque, nice colour. Well done.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
This gets a passing grade for the style. Crisp, refreshing, a touch of hops, golden colour. A quality lager, not watered down or full of adjuncts.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
650ml bottle purchased at the brewery pours a pale golden color with a small white head that settles to some thin lacing on the glass. Aroma is light grains and hops. Taste is light grainy malt sweetness and light hoppy bitter finish. Light bodied and adequately carbonated with a nice clean finish. A true premium lager, very well done and quite tasty.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Had on tap in Regina. The pour is a bright golden yellow with a beautiful white head. Good carbonation in the body. The nose is bready, grainy and lightly hopped with a hint of citrus. Grainy and bready taste as well with a nice crisp finish and a clean taste. This is a straightforward lager with a nice crisp and clean taste.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle drank same day as purchased. BB4 Oct 27, 2011. Well carbonated gold with a soft maintained white head. Strong grain scent with a hint of bread. Clean drinking with a flavour similar to the scent. Lots of grain. Does not seem hurt by the lower ABV. I will wait to finish the rating until the bottom of hte 650ml bottle. Drinks OK. Nothing screams out from the glass but it goes down well, warms well and has a continual grain flavour.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden yellow with a nice thin white head. Easy drinking. very crisp mouthfeel. Not a lot of flavour, somewhat bland. appropriate level of carbonation. my lager of choice.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Fresh grainy aroma with lightly spicy, herbal hops apparent. Clear golden body topped by a low white head that recedes to a partial cover with plenty of fine lacing. Fresh and grainy malts are offset but clean, crisp botterness. Light body with engaging carbonation. Sampled on tap at the brewpub before the Als/Riders game.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
(Draught) 5 oz sampler tasted at the brewpub on December 29, 2005, for $1.50. Hazy, straw coloured body with a frothy, medium head. The nose and flavour had unpleasant hints of butterscotch - so perhaps the beer has been on tap too long? I found the finish too fizzy and thin. My least favourite of the samples.
