I want to be nice to this one because I went to the brewerey today to get this... but this one is just too plain. It does taste slightly fresher than normal beer, but the aroma and taste are just shy of being bad, its extremely thin and clear, fairly yellow, gets a point for some lacing. Alright there it just a touch of red, but I can’t improve any on the flavour comments. This is getting warmer and less tasty as I type.

Clear yellow gold, white head fades quickly. Sweet corny malt aroma and taste. Low hopped, average carbed. Clean crisp and refreshing. A decent craft lager; and despite the lack of a "distinct hop flavor" it is still a step above most of the industrial swill out there, which classifies this brew LF (Lagerboy Friendly)

355ml can brought back from BC by a friend. Pours a very mildly hazy blonde with a thin white cap. Aroma of muted floral hops some malt and some grainy taste. some metallic taste as well.flavour is somewhat sweet. Nothing special.

Single can purchased from Zyn Liqour in Calgary, AB on 06/11/2011. Colour: Light yellow with medium size white head. Nose: Sweet cereal malt, citrusy hops, kiwi, cherry lollipop. Taste: Medium sweet, light bitter, light sour. The lollipop carries into the mouth and stays steady. There is a light bitter catch mid-palate but it doesn’t ever take grip. Average.

Can. Clear golden body with a medium head. Aroma and flavor is malt, light caramel and grain. Quite boring.

355ml can shared by jsprime. straw yellow, white head. fairly clean and uninteresting. not terrible but not worth buying.

A beer that does finds itself among the pack of Canadian beers. It’s a ho-hum kind of beer. Not sure what else to say.

341mL bottle poured pale golden color with small white head and a few spots of lace. Aroma is mild. Taste is lightly sweet malt and a mild hop finish. An average lager.

Pours straw golden with a white head. Corny aroma. Light bodied with average carbonation. Flavor of pilsner malts and very faint herbal hops. Not horrible, and decent for a pale lager.

Sweet malty aroma, pours with a golden hue and a white head. Brown sugar, malt and toffe flavours. Hints of bitterness in the finish. Not bad.

341ml brown bottle. Gold in colour, small thin layer of white head. Trace of lacing in the glass. Grainy nose. Flavour is of grains, slight bready note, some sweetness. Light hops are present. Finish is grainy and bready with a trace of grass. Light body and medium carbonation. Basic pale lager with a bit of added hops than most.
