What can I say? 24 pack at Mac’s on West Peachtree. Ah....what a treat to have this. Nice smooth Wisconsin/Canadian bullshit! Runs down my throat pretty easy, and is clear as all can be. Aroma is corn and grass. Wait...why am I rating this. This is a pale lager that is very boring. I don’t know what else to say. I will say it is a bit maltier than other beers, but come on for a Canadian beer that is brewed in the U.S. I am a bit confused. Drink this if you’re looking to get wasted with your friends. $10.99 for a 24 pack, which is pretty good in my opinion.

Grabbed one of these after a fearsome jim beam shot. Pretty much tasted like watered down corn but it did the trick and wasn’t overly offensive. Great can aesthetic going on though.

Once I got back from South Africa to my home college in the states, I was surprised to find this stuff in the states. Brewed in Canada rather than in SA, but tastes pretty much the same. A simple run of the mill pale lager. Not the worst and cheap for the liking. IT will always hold a sentimental place in my heart.

Clear golden yellow. White head. Sweet malty aroma with lots of corn. Very fresh and smooth with a nice malty flavour. Not bad, not great. I think it is pretty good as shitty Canadian pale lager goes.

355ml can. Yeloow colour, retains a small white head. Sweet malty aroma. Flavour is cidery - apple sweetness, slightly corny. Ends drier, grainy. No bitterness, no aftertaste. Unexciting.

12oz can @ TacoMac, Decatur. Whoa, what was I thinking? Was it a dare from daknole? Did I only want a rating? Fuck dude, this shit is nasty! Water, rice, a pine cone that was sitting on the ground since last autumn (it is summer now), and an old man’s toenail clippings (for fermentation starter). Gag, then leave the rest for whom ever wants it, or the waitress. And yes, I paid money for this.

Hmmm, why did I drink this? Oh yeah for a tick. Nasty. Cereal, grain, stinky malt, nasty hops. NOT GOOD.

Indeed this is a quality swill, and I’ll buy more in the future. This is the first BL I’ve had since the mid seventies (yeah, I’m THAT old), and damned if I didn’t find it a hell of a lot better now than then. Decent head, even a bit of lacing, colour is not special but the aroma is quite respectably hopped, and the taste/mouthfeel/aftertaste are all quite palatable. Cheers!
