473 ml can from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.

App.: Clear deep golden with a smallish white foam. Aroma: Bread and biscuit malts with some candy corn and some hints of burnt sugar. Palate: Medium body, medium carbonation, fairly smooth (like a Pils). Flav.: Faithful to the nose with lots of bread and biscuit malts, light fruitiness, a bit of the candy corn; lightly off-dry with basically no bitterness.

I could put a lot of these back on a patio or at the cottage or something. “A light hearted beer” is an honest description.

473 ml can from the LCBO. pours gold with a small white head that is quickly gone. light fruity aromas, with a touch of grain. the flavours are similar. no hops in either the aromas or flavours. only good for pounding purposes. better options at lower prices availible.

serviceable lager for a warm day. Below avergae mouthfeel, and softer carbonation. Light colour, much bubble bath of foam. Neutral aroma. A malt job.Nothing special.

Can. Pours a nice dark yellow, big frothy white head that does not go away and lots of streaming bubbles - looks good. Light grainy, very lightly hopped aroma. Taste is decent - light grain, light malt, but a good dose of it, and very light hops at the end. This is not too bad really from a fresh can and cold. I had a sample at a beer event earlier this summer that was awful but served in the right conditions, a good cottage beer for sure.

473 ml can. Pours a clear gold with quickly disappearing white head. Sweet biscuity aroma. Taste is likewise biscuity but verging towards corn. Lightish body. Didn’t really light my fire.

Fishin’ trip beer. Golden pour and smooth fine carbonation. Bit of hay-like hop and lightly fruity aroma. Mostly a sweet lightly malty taste, a touch grapey, and barely any hops on the flavor. Only a hint soapy. Inoffensive.
