Gold lager, small head. Sweet aroma, not much else around. Plain, medium thin lager, with light malt scent.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2008 Pours yellow. Smells like corn and rice. Tastes of corn and rice. Watery and not worth having again.

Hazy yellow. Bitter hops and sweet corn. Sweet malts and metal in the flavor with a hint of fruity bitter hops. Finishes without a bang.

Rate #2000: Hazy yellow color, fizzy head. Nose of stagnant hops and corn. Sweet metallic flavor. Finishes watery and bland with a hint of bad. Woo? Thanks Josh.

Golden with the slightest amount of hops in the aroma. Flavour is watery and quite thin. Thought it might have more but it was a let down.

Best of the bunch from swillfest (imo). Pours with a decent head and the now familiar pale yellow colour. The aroma showed some hops. The taste was o.k. some bittering hops mild sweetness good carbonation.

not too bad, nice white head, yellow colour, easy drinking and somewhat flavourable. worth a try.

UPDATED: MAR 15, 2005 I wouldn’t call this a bitter, but for a pale lager it’s much better than average. Chill-hazed deep yellow colour with a white lasting head. Soapy, malty aroma, a hint of grassy/floral character as well. Flavour is surprisingly good, caramel malt, brown sugar and some very faint raspberry/cherry character. Light spicy hop finish. A real surprise at $1.40/can.

Better than expected. Not really any hops on the nose, but a fair amount when tasted. Basically it’s a middle of the road lager with a bit of extra punch. Nothing special, but better than average for this style.

not a bitter by style or flavour. clear yellow, no head. smelss and tastes like a mix of nothing and ass. bleh.

Smidge of malt aroma, pale yellow, almost no head. Sourish malt taste, thin. Ordinary.
