Creemore Springs Premium Lager

Draught at McSorley’s. Pours a clear golden amber with decent sized white head. Mild caramel malt aroma with slight fruitiness. Nice sweet caramel malty flavour with again a hint of fruitiness. Smooth mouthfeel. Still have a soft spot for this - an enjoyable lager.

Pours gold from the can, white head. Sweet malt flavor. I thought this was really overrated for a lager though, I didn’t think it was anything special. Decent flavor for something out of Molson though.

473 mL Can. Deep gold body with a quickly dissipating bubbly white head leaving a bit of spotty lacing. The aroma is grainy-earthy with a mustiness about it. The flavor is sweet malt with skunky hops being very pronounced in the aftertaste, ending in a skunky finish. I couldn’t find any date on the can but this must be a bad sample or a bad batch. For whatever reason, this is some very expen$ive swill.

Okay, to be honest with you I don’t know what’s going on here. I’m not sure if anything has changed since Molson bought it (the brewery promises they haven’t) but I used to like it a whole lot more. Maybe sales have gone up and it’s not getting enough aging time, or quality control has dipped a little, or possibly it’s all just in my head knowing that Molsoncoors is filling the mash but for a couple years now something is different. The beer still looks smashing in the glass - a nice dark gold - but I’m always getting excess diacetyl in the flavor. Personally, I’m very intollerant to diacetyl so it seems to bother me more than others. As i go through my pint here, the beer is fading on me too, tasting flat, alcoholly and more diacetyl as it warms. Over rated.

Rich golden in colour, which dictates the taste. The hoppy, freshness of the beer makes it one of the best lagers produced in Canada. Nice finish with some light malts. How many can I drink, ask the question!

Pours a nice orangey-yellow with a nice white head on-tap with lots of carbonation. Smells sweet, grassy, subtle hops. Tastes refreshing, grassy, biscuity malts, some sweet citrus, very nice, better than the bottled version. Carbonated mouthfeel, this beer fills you up fast on tap though, other than that, a very good lager.

500ml can. Poured clear golden with small head. Mild tart hoppy aroma. Initial smooth caramel flavour. Finishes strong with lingering alcohol taste.

This poured a light yellow color with a white head. Aroma was grassy, sweet malts and some adjuncts. Flavor was really overly swett with hints of sweet corn, malt and grassy. Extremely over rated even for a lager.
