Style: Pale Lager

341ml, bière commerciale sans intérêt pour l’amateur, à une époque la publicité à donné les lettres de noblesse à cette bière blonde, sans houblon, sans malt

Bouteille de 341 ml dégustée chez Boston Pizza (Laval, QC). Arôme: Légère odeur d’houblons et de malt. Apparence: La couleur est blonde avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux. Saveur: Goût de céréales avec une pointe d’houblons fruités. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps et la texture sont mince. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’houblon en arrière goût. (Rating #1317)

Yup. Cheap. Clear yellow, bubbly, not much head. Aroma is tinny with corny, and wet wool sock. Drinkable, but the tinniness shines through, decent on a hot day with nothing else at hand.

Can. Quite enjoyed this beer. Bought it because it was cheap. Golden coloured, white head. Probably great on tap.

Big fine-laced white head. Light amber body with lots of fast carbonation and big bubbles up the side of the glass. Unbalanced grain and alcohol aroma with vegetable notes. Dry and sweetish caramel and paper taste, also unbalanced. Watery. Dry cardboard aftertaste. Drinkable, if necessary. And this is supposed to compete with the local bitters? (0.5l can from Centra, Oslo.)

Bottle of the Canadian version. My mass produced Candian pale lager rating has Moosehead on top, a jumbled mess of Molson and Labatt concotions and then Black Label somewhere beneath. Don’t get me wrong, NONE of these are biers to seek out and buy.

# 400. Thanks to Joel for making me stain my Riedel with this horse piss. Aroma of grain, wet grass. Slightly skunky and musty. Pours pale gold with a huge white head that quickly disappeared. Not a whole lot of flavor, but that leaves nothing to be offended by. Slightly grainy and malty with a hint of sugary sweetness. Fairly thin on the palate, but has a bit of weight to it. Not horrible. Actually, better than expected.

Meh. The can is terrible, but on tap is fine for a smoky pub. Some aroma, but substitute yellow water in front of my nose and I probably couldn’t tell the difference. Better than smelling skunky I suppose.
