Blonde yellow pour light white head light lacing aroma of grains and sweet malts .... taste of sweet malts and a little funk thats supposed to be hops .... an easy drinker but not very good at all ... stick to their IPA that seems to be the bread winner for them

DocLock (6789) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 21, 2010
Can from Capone’s. Pours as light a pale gold as I’ve ever seen this side of a sake, wth 2-finger white head. Nose is grainy hopcitrus, and the flavor is hard to find, some mild hopcit and pale malt, and very watery. Forgettable.

mcberko (4052) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 27, 2010
330mL can, pours pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is very typical of a macro-lager - rice and grass. Flavour is very weak - grass, wheat and rice. Worst of Central City.

Gethinbeer (1817) - Musky, Nova Scotia, CANADA - APR 11, 2010
Slight hazy, very pale yellow with a thin white head. A kind of fruity aroma, little wheat hints. Nice texture. Flavour is weak and lacks body. rich honey, reminds me of a cereal. Nice bitter finish.

TipsyMcStager (1114) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 21, 2010
malty, grassy aroma. Horrible appearance, practically no colour at all, just a very pale yellow. Not much too it really....typical lager. Why would you drink this if you could drink their IPA?

turboespresso (256) - Port Moody, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 29, 2010
Can. Probably the palest beer I have ever seen, ginger ale is several shades darker by comparison. Decent head that lasts. Hop aroma is fair. Taste is crisp, with light , slightly sweet body. Ok for the patio on a hot summer day, but that’s about it. Definitely serve this one well chilled.

jonas (5041) - Garching b. München, GERMANY - JAN 15, 2010
Can. Pale incontinent yellow. Low head. Light corny aroma. Lightbodied, slight bread base. Forgettable pale lager flavours, light body. Made for the crappy lager crowd no doubt.

puzzl (3172) - New York, New York, USA - NOV 24, 2009
I just poured this but I’m rating it after 2 sips. This is just a shitty lager. I wasn’t expecting it, honestly, which made me grimace quite a bit after the first sip. I haven’t had a crap lager in ages. Most craft lager is some kind of German style (pils, helles, etc) so when the American piss-water hit my mouth I was aghast. Don’t come into this expecting anything but. This is Molson in a fancy package, nothing more.
