Jun 20, 2004 Bottle. An amber lager topped by a large, foamy head. Fresh, hoppy, malt-accented aroma. Light body with a smooth, clean, crisp mouthfeel. Toasty, grainy maltiness up front, followed by a brisk, grassy hop character that carries through the finish and lingering aftertaste. Well-integrated and balanced flavours make this a nice, solid beer.

Jun 19, 2004 Clear amber-orange; white head, reduced to nothing in seconds. faint orangey smell - cookie malt. Faint hoppy bitterness overlying typical ale-type malt. Very refreshing, even when the malt takes care of sweet counterbalance. Medium bodied. Hoppiness keeps in the aftertaste. This is a very strange lager. A bitter pilsener version of a sweetish Belgian amber ale. The hoppiness hugely benefices the amber "ale" character. It’s not a classic for that, however. Thanks, Jeff radiomgb!

Jun 13, 2004 Beautiful hazy amber color. Unfortunately, its thin bubbly head fades within a minute. Good malty nose with some hoppy and herbal notes. Taste is refreshing and well-balanced. It carries some light bready hints and has a long and moderately bitter final. This is a very nice craft lager. I would like to have it on tap...

does not count  May 24, 2004 A full flavour, and great taste, but too heavy for a summer’s day thirst quencher. Savour one or two.

does not count May 23, 2004 This is a dark and delicious lager. Always enjoy the first bottle or two but then it slows me down a bit with its unique full flavour. Consistency is the bench mark of the brew and brewery. There is always room for a Creem in my fridge.

May 10, 2004 This is a solid lager, which is very well balanced. Not much to speak about with regards to the nose and the appearance, but flavor wise, it was clean with a nice floral hops kind of finish. Perhaps this one is a bit over-rated, but still a very nice beer.

May 7, 2004 Updated: Jul 26, 2006I can’t believe I haven’t gotten around to rating this. Certainly the best Canadian Lager I have had and one of the first craft beers I ever had. I think this may have actually introduced me to hops! Subtle though, they add a nice touch to a very clean and balanced beer. Worth a trip to the village and brewery as well.
