Bright light gold brew sitting in the clear bottle noisy short lived cap produced during pour, looks ok for the style. Lemony lager aroma with hints of skunk and corn. Malts come across as sweet and grainy, mild mild skunk on the tongue. Flavour is more of a lime then lemon, no bitter at all. Crisp and relatively clean. What ever if you try to compare this to most other "Beer Geek Beers" its horrible and it will fail, but if you judge based on what it is a pale lager this very good and well above average. GOOD JOB DEAD FROG!!!

(Draught) Sampled at the Great Canadian Beer Festival in Victoria, BC, September 8th 2008. Pours a lasting white, thin head with a clear golden body. Nose is mildly lemony and corn. Somewhat tonic tongue, though the texture is pretty good. There is a lasting corn meal finish. Good. 7/3/6/3/12

Great Canadian Beer Festival – 2009 – Victoria BC
A tasty lager this was a fun brewery with a great staff of people.

OOOO yum. Nice clear gold brew with a fluffy white pillow after some settling with some excellent lacing. Fruity aroma with grassy, lemon and soft malts make this smell good enough. Light fragrance gives way to a light toast scent. The taste is not at all disgusting as I assumed it would be. Mellow toasty malts and a light tang fend off most but not all thoughts of a grassy distraction. Light bitterness here and there. A decent brew with a long soft finish.

Clear yellow gold colour with thin white head. Mild malt nose with slight yeast hints. Sweet malt taste with mild bitter finish.

Bottle. Gold with a light layer of white lasting foam maintained by steady bubbles. Creamy body. Interesting flavour. Hints of corn, cookie and nut.

Light tan, some haze. Sweetish palate. Tastes a little like corn syrup although I’d be quite disappointed if this small micro actually used any. Goldings or Willamettes in evidence. Flavours are herbal, with mushrooms (finding those in damn near everything all of a sudden), hedges and early morning farmer’s fields. Look at me trying to find new ways of describing a beer I’ve essentially had four dozen times before. What can I say, the beer is so boring I need to make my own fun. Imagine what I can come up with when I finally have Rickard’s Honey Brown...tastes like watching two fat elderly people get it on...no I can do better than that...tastes like watching your dog lick his own balls...something like that anyway.

341 ml (clear) bottle from The Beer Store (part of Winter Mixer). Pours a bright, light yellowish gold with small white head. Aroma is grainy and lemony. Flavour is similar with a slight skunkiness to it. A little thin; fizzy carbonation. A cut above most macro pale lagers but nothing special.

GCBF. Poured to a light straw colour. Tight creamy head with minimal lacing. Aroma is crisp with a spicy note. Taste is very clean, but a bit bland. Not very sweet...squeaky dry. Not bad on this hot day. Not myfavourite lager, but a great alternative to the commercial dreck.

A crisp and full lager. A slightly heavier body than most lagers. Light lacing that didn’t last too long. Almost buttery flavor. Not a lot more too it than that.
