1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20 DeanF (1489) - Iqaluit, - AUG 11, 2011
This is one of those beers that you’re hard pressed to distinguish amongst so many other "fargn" beers in your local liquor store. Indeed, I’d be hard up to figure out what to pick in a pinch over this from Heineken to Wäldstorf or some other central €uropáen brew to close out a friday night. Thusly and therefore, I poured it into my plastic caraffe: it has a bright piss-yellow body and a semi-solid head like any other pilsner you may find across this planet (or others). It smells of rotten garbage-infested hops and some grains that may have been dragged out from the dump -typical macro stuff. The flavour is all harsh alcohol followed by a bitter finish of tin-infused grains. This is a really, really bad attempt at a Euro lager and is hardly worth scoffing down - even if you are a thirteen year-old on your first binge, you can do better than this.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Frothmeister (247) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 27, 2012
500ml can. Pours a pale golden colour with a white head. Aroma is sweet malt, mineral notes, faint straw, and a faint fruity note. As for taste, woody/dusty malt notes, metallic, with a mineral finish. Not bad, just not exciting in any way.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 Nate (3093) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 30, 2012
From bottle (6/3/11). Light noble hop aroma, beany. Crisp, sweet with pilsner malt and light skunky hops, carbonic gaseousness. Medium golden clear, light haze, with thin white foamy lacing head. Medium body with high carbonation. Starts medium dry with pils sweetness, carbonic acidity. Not a crisp as a pilsner. Finishes clean with dry bitterness. A bit watery at the end, clean after.

2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Metalchopz (1429) - Quebec, CANADA - APR 4, 2012
Originally rated May 2005. This one has corn written all over it ! It pours a golden colour with light carbonation. The white head is pretty big and has decent retention, leaving good lace. Then the corn arrives.... in the aroma. In the taste. Smooth finish. Rather have a Miller High Life then this one (for a corn brew).
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 lukin (257) - Ontario, CANADA - APR 1, 2012
can. Light yellow pour, bubbly and little head. Aroma was sour apples, almost like a cider. Taste was a little better, mostly grassy malts, but still an unpleasant apple juice taste as well. Not very good.

2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Frank (2062) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - FEB 8, 2012
This was less foul and skunky than I expected from a green bottle brew of European origin but is still pretty underwhelming overall. Clear and headless yellow, its appearance is about as bland as its mildly bready aroma. I will say though that this does have a nice lemony hoppy zip to it and a bit of spunky carbonation to keep it drinkable which keeps this from being totally useless.
