A very good light beer, surprisingly tasty for a light beer. Enjoyable overall.

33 cl bottle, Winnipeg, MB, Canada. Slightly hazy, noticeably carbonated. Very minimal head. Primarily straw aroma, sweet taste with a mild pepperiness on the finish. Okay for a light beer.

[3688-20110416] 473mL can. Sweet honey bread grains aroma. Slightly hazy, light yellow body with a quick foamy white head. Initial wet grains flavour follows up with cooked corn. Light-medium body. Not great. (4/3/4/2+/9) 2.2
Overheard: "I enjoy a good can of swill every now and then."

jercraigs (6472) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 17, 2011
2011-04-17. Crisp yellow body with a tiny white head. Grainy, sweet floral aroma. Flavour is similar, grainy undercurrent, floral notes. Average palate. Meh, pretty inoffensive for the most part, it actually has some hop character, though its not a hop character I personally like. More flavour than many light beers. A mainstream lightly flavoured brew. Bottle from MLCC, Winnipeg

I guess it’s not bad for a light beer, but that’s still not saying much. It’s yellow, fairly well carbonated, and has a hint of beer-like taste. Like pretty much all light beers, it’s watery on the palate.

341ml brown bottle. Yellow colour with a noisy white head which dies quickly. Nose is grainy, light bread. Tasty is also quite grainy, some hay notes, mineral water, faint lemon. Dry finish. Thin body, high carbonation. Basic lawnmower beer, better than most macro "lite" beers.

northropfrye (1344) - Steinbach, Manitoba, CANADA - AUG 8, 2011
UPDATED: AUG 21, 2011 Bottle. A light beer - what do you expect. About as good as it can get for a light pale lager. Watery.

Light straw color - lots of foamy white head. Almost no nose - maybe a bit of dough. Watered down flavor on the palate. No thanks.

DavidP (1745) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 24, 2006
Bottle via Jason and John. Clear golden body with medium carbonation forming a light wisp. Grain, dusty molasses, and some dulled leafy hops in the aroma. The flavor has a strong wet musty grain presence alongside orangey(?) and stemmy hops. The grain flavor really turns me off.

Thanks Jason. The beer pours to a glowing light golden body with a thin white head. There is lots of visible carbonation. The aroma is lightly bready and sileage. Not offensive in flavor or aroma. Simply boring. The palate is carbonated. The flavor has a light bitter hop to it. Drinkable but I won’t drink it again.
