Bottle. Pours a pale yellow body with a small and fast fading white head. Bizarre fruity and grainy aroma has unexpected notes of white grapes. Rough astringent grainy flavour, light wacky fruit notes. Average to thin palate. WTF? Did not finish. 2/3/2-3/2/2-3

341ml bottle.
Pours as pale as I’ve seen with a loud soda pop head thats gone in a blink. First beer I’ve had that has a sound to it in addition to everything else. It sounds the same as the sound you hear from inside your mouth after you’ve downed a hand full of pop-rocks. well anywho. Smells awful, tastes like water with puke in it. Stomach acids and everything. Horrible.

Bottle shared with GregClow, Jerc, and Blankboy, Greg’s bottle. Harsh, harsh aroma. Harsh grainy taste. Lighter than piss yellow. Awful. Honestly the worst thing I have had in quite some time and my first 0.5 in a long time. I just couldn’t find one thing here worth a point. Fort Garry, you should be embarrassed.

Bottle (12oz) shared with GregClow, jerc & tupalev -- courtesy of GregClow. Pours a clear incredibly light pale yellow with absolutely no head. Aroma’s sweet, grainy, vegetal and bready -- odd and stale smelling. Flavour’s a sweet, grainy, citrusy, bready mess -- it’s just all wrong -- and incredibly watery too! Light bodied. Just frickin’ awful!

Bottle via trade with piscator34 - shared with jerc, blankboy and tupalev. Very pale yellow with no head. Aroma and flavour of wet grain and stale canned vegetables. Some faint sour white wine notes in the flavour as well. Body is thin and spritzy. Finish is (thankfully) abrupt with no aftertaste. This is some nasty shit right here.

Bottle courtesy of Piscator34: Poured a super pale yellow color beer with a very small bubbly white head with no retention and lacing. Aroma of very weak malt with some lemony notes which are just plain weird. Taste is reminiscent of a wine spritzer more then a beer with almost no malt or hops distinguishable. Total drain pour and one of the worst beers I have had the chance of trying recently.

Very pale yellow in colour with spritzy carbonation. Faint lemon aroma, with nuances of pilsner malt, cookie dough, and the slightest bit of spicy hops. Very watery body, with a dry citric finish. Not much to speak of in the way of flavor; it’s vaguely grainy, with a bit more of that lemon element showing up too. Verging into "near-beer" territory with this one. I am not impressed.
