Bottle: Poured a bright golden color lager with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some great lacing. Aroma of unrefined cereal with some dry notes. Taste is not as pleasant as I had hoped for with notes of unrefined cereals and stale grain. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Not bad but definitely not the best from this fine brewery.

500ml from Scrizz. Deep golden with some amber tint and a decent head. Grainy honey nose. Prickly carbonation up front with creamy smooth flavor throughout. Some sweetness, but not too much and nice graininess. Best Grand River of the bunch for me.

Scrizz. Grainy, bready, some sweet malt, fruity hops - grapefruit, apricot, orange. Hazy golden orange pour, thin bubbly head. Bready and a little sweet, fruity apricot and orange, solid bitter hoppy finish. Lingering bitterness. I like the hop presence in this lager.

Volo draught presentation. A really flavorfull balanced lager with a strong but not too aggressive flavor profile of slight fruit in the malt and slight grass in the hops. Some caramel and toasty nuances. Chewy feel. Absolute pleasure to drink, and so where the fuck is Town Hall Lager??

On tap at Volo. Great balance of malt and hops, really smooth finish. A little bit of fruit flavours pleasant, but really just a nice crisp flavourful lager

Bottle. The colour is golden with healthy carbonation and a one inch fluffy white head, good retention. Aroma of grain, grass with maybe a hint of lemon. Body is fairly light. The flavour is a bit floral with more grass, grain, light hop bitterness.
