Hate to say it, but this stuffs on my rotation. Drain ’em in a hurry too. Easy drinking simple beer. Nice thick fluffy head on todays pour, not much action in the glass tho.. straw yellow. not much aroma, but doesnt stink like my old hockey equipment either, so thats not a bad thing. I like the grassy lemon flavour alot, to bad its a bit thin on the finish. Grassy, lemony, grassy , lemony...thats why i keep getting it - oh and at 11$-12$ for 6 500ml cans, the price is more than right (considering the outrageous beer prices in Edmonton). One of the few canned brew I purchace regularly. Get drunk on it too, like soooo many others.....cheers!

330ml brown bottle. Clear watery golden colour with a very thin white head. Refreshing, clean taste, slightly malty, no complex flavours, low bitterness. Not bad but not great.

Some of the worst hangovers Ive ever had came of this .Back in my ’try every lager import’ days. This would go down ok @ the cricket.I’m sure SA could get some good beers out -if anyone could getta decent micro scene going.Grainy -dry,overly sweet carboard malt flavours.Apple esters. Not as chemecially as I rememember it being.

340 ml can at CTI airport. Pours clear gold colour with big frothy diminishing head. Malt and maize in the aroma. Very fizzy on the palate with the trademark SAB maize taste. Good bitterness with malt and hop in the finish. Actually better than I expected (have not had a Castle in years)

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear gold color with a two finger, fluffy white head. The aroma was a bit of bread, grain and a grassy hop note. the flavor was malty, with not much of a hoppy finish.
