AmazonMatt (284), Panama Dec 27, 2007 A pretty darn good lager, actually. A hint of witbeer in the nose and in the flavor profile. Not corn or wet socks here. Very smooth and surprising mouthfeel for a lager. dangermoose (9), Alberta, Canada does not count Dec 26, 2007 I’ve plugged this as session beer in the forums. Pours a medium bronze. Head is a rich wheat colour, but not quite robust and persists for about a minute. In the first sip, there are subtle hints of biscuit and freshly baked bread. This only persists for one or two sips and gives way to a full, floral and mildly spicy flavour. Medium, noticable carbonation and thick, pleasing mouthfeel. This is my favourite beer. lowg (123), Scarborough, Ontario, Canada Dec 19, 2007 Had on tap at Dukes downtown. After work Christmas party. First time rating it since MolsonCoors took over. Its still a decent beer, better than anything else Molson puts out but it seems like it has changed since the last time. I could just be paranoid but it felt a little dumbed down to me. probstk (1011), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Nov 28, 2007 341 ml bottle from LCBO (party leftovers), served cold in a tulip glass.
App.: Medium amber, clear, remnants of an off white head.
Aroma: A light blend of nuts, malts, bread, bread crust, and floral/herbal hops.
Palate: Medium body and carbonation.
Flav.: Bread crust, darker malts, some burnt sugar, light herbal/grassy hops, light nuttiness; slightly off-dry and lightly bitter with a soft malty finish.
Still a well-crafted and highly quaffable beer. A great beer to wean die-hards from their macro security blankets. Gpnterojd (162), Orangeville, Ontario, Canada Nov 10, 2007 Pours rusty red/light amber. Aroma has hops and bread. Taste is bread, yeast, mild malt and a little hops. Not bad -- certainly a stronger flavour than most other lagers. From memory. Bobsy (194), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 9, 2007 Pint at Madison’s. Amber body with a slightly off-white head. Mild caramel malt flavour, and the slightest hint of hops. Lager is not my style, but this one is pretty decent. Lumpy (1802), Carrollton, Texas, USA Oct 7, 2007 Bottle. Nose-light sour, rose, husky. Body-honey brown with a medium ring of bubbles. Taste-cereal medium bitter, soil, corn flakes, corny, seltzer, lactic, soft water. Unremarkable in every way. matt7215 (943), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Sep 5, 2007 341 ml bottle. pours dark amber with small white head. crisp hop aromas with maltiness as well. flavours are balanced with a very tight stucture and nice hoppy finish. one of the better ontario lagers out there.
