355ml can pours a pale golden color with a small white head and no lacing. Aroma is cheap grains and faint hops. Taste is cheap grains and a terrible hop bitterness. Less than average for the style.

drinkable lager. slightly unique and without any off-putting metallic notes. Not bad if your drinking more than just a few...

Metalchopz (1173) - Quebec, CANADA - JAN 25, 2012
Originally rated August 2005. This one is brewed by Molson in Canada, and has 5% ABV. It pours a golden colour with a medium white head. Retention for a plain swill is awesome. A coating even stays a while and creates nice lacing. Nose is full, with grain malt and bitter hop. The mouth has the same grain malt, some grass and some corn also found in the aftertaste. Nice hoppy taste in the beginning. Great cheap beer, also found in Quebec stores (Petro Canada stations) for dirt cheap. Today’s notes: Still a decent cheap swill nowadays, but lighter with the hop. Still, nice head and good creamy mouthfeel.

Odeur; Rien... Bon, si je me force peut-être que je discerne un peu de malt sucré mais c’est peut-être juste mon imagination! Jaune fluo avec mousse éphémère. Au goût il y a quansd même juste assez de houblon pour balancer le goût de sirop de maïs typique de ce genre de lager pale pour éviter un haut le coeur. Le mieux que je peux dire c’est qu’elle est douce en bouche. À éviter.

Clear blonde lager. Very similar to most other Canadian macros, I believe it might have somewhat stronger carbonation, though. If it can help this one stand out from the rest...

Bouteille 341 ml. 5%. Couleur jaune, mousse blanche. Arôme de céréale. en bouche douce et assez de goût. Un classique familiale.
