[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."

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

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.

Very pale golden pour - chill hazed with a bit of light ethanol. Crackery and industrial malts. Meh.

Can 473 ml
Aroma: strong fruity character. Hints of honey grains. Quiet sweet.3+
Appearance: slight haze on gold. Medium top that reduced to minimal fizz in few seconds. 2-.
Palate / Taste: Soapy front. Thin bodied. Empty character with slight feel of malts. Not very clean ,not easy going , wont quench you thirst either. Meh.

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

Not the worst replacement for a macro beer that I have had. Poor yellow coloured body, with a little light head. Minimal taste but not harsh, a light malt.

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.

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.

341ml bottle.
Yellow gold beer with a large white head that mellows out pretty quickly. Smells crakery and slightly sweet/sour. Malty, lightly sour and semi-watery taste. Barely there bitterness in the finish. Watery feel. Not that great, even for a FGB.
