Bottle at The Rebel House. A light lunchtime session beer, with palish yellow colour and a little white head, that leaves some lace trail. A tad beerish aroma, and some malt. There is hop in the taste, but also corn. Mildly astringent. Lighter than average mouthfeel. Drinkable on a hot summer day, but even though could not finish it.

2007 Golden Tap Awards. Crisp pale yellow body with a small white head. Sweet floral, butter cup aroma. Similar floral hop character in the flavour, moderate hop bitterness throughout. (6+) Average palate. Decent pilsener/lager, excellent for a "light" beer.

Bottle [341ml] at The Brewers Plate event. Pours a clear, bubbly pale gold with a small diminishing white head. Aroma’s surprisingly not too shabby: It’s light but also quite fruity, a bit sweet, along with some grassy hops and caramel malt. Flavour’s the same, fruity along with caramel malt, some grain, very light grassy hops and a light, short bitter finish. Average bodied. One of the better Canadian Light beers I’ve tried -- well done.

[539-20070818] Sample @ BeerBistro (Golden Taps, Toronto, ON). Freshly baked grainy bread yeast aroma is lightly floral. Clear, pale yellow body with a long-lasting foamy white head. More freshly baked bread yeast in the flavour. Light body. A surprisingly nice light beer!

Corn malt nose, palest of yellows, small white head. Squeak of malt flavour, no hops at all. Watery, bad.

On tap, KW fest. Light yellow, small white head. Light grainy aroma, faint hops. Mouthfeel is very very light, not much flavour at all. Some grain and faint hops. Clean and well made but really no flavour at all here to recommend. To compare, I would prefer the Anti-Gravity Light.

Bottle sample at the 2007 GTAs. Pale gold with a small white head. Aroma of bready malt and light floral hops - quite nice, and more than I expected. Crisp body. Well balanced flavour, with a nice twinge of hops in the finish. Quite a surprise for a light beer.

Veyr nice, quite sweet, with those features of the Ontario beers I like. According to the barman, this beer is going to be renamed to Stonehammer light. Meanwhile I rate it with this name.

Bottle. Very still and light in appearance - just a hint of yellow in an otherwise clear body with a small white head.The aroma is a bit soapy with some apple and perfume notes. Light spritzy body with apple and astringent grain flavours. Seemed to have gotten worse as the sample progressed.
