Commercial Description:
Premier Brands - the Canadian license holder for Headstrong Pale Ale - have taken the unique move of using the brand for a new beer that is not brewed at the original home of Headstrong, Montana’s Big Hole Brewing. Headstrong Munich Lager is their new offering, and like the Pale Ale, it is contract brewed at FX Matt for the Ontario market.

Orangy copper pour. Thin bubbly head. Fairly weak scent of hops. Very stron taste, lots of bitter hops. A thick tastes. Slight aftertaste but it fades quickly. A little overpowering at first. Lots more flavour then expected from a Candian Micro. Not bad.

Slight hazy, honey-orange hgue, with a small white head, but leaving laces, toasted malt nose, with a biscuity note, hint of toffee, a faint flowery hop accent in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp fruity, toasted malt character, with a grainy accent, a mild floral hop note , leading towards a malty, grainy, lingering hop bettering finish.

650ml bottle. Pours an orange/copper colour with very little head. Aroma is mostly of malts, and sweet elements, almost like a tangerine. Taste is like the aroma, but well-balanced with some good hopping. I honestly have a bit of a sore throat right now, but this beer is smooth enough that it doesn’t hurt to drink. I like this one more than the headstrong pale ale. EDIT: The new 450mL canned version is a far cry from the bottled version. Weird fuel like flavours and overly alcoholic for something only 5.5%. Malt body is garbage now. Weak.

650ml bottle. Copper colour with a decently sized off white head. Aroma of grains, sweet malt, rounded off with some floral hops. Hops definately in the taste, as well as some malt and citrus( grapefruit?). Good mouthfeel and carbonation. This was a tasty and refreshing lager that I will have to buy again sometime soon.

650 mL bottle. Translucent orange-brown with almost no head at all. Mild, slightly sweet aroma. Taste is mild as well, and a little hoppier than usual, for the style. I think. Not bad, but nothing noteworthy.

Pours a foggy deep golden colour, with a very very very faint aroma of hops. Straightforward flavours of hops and malts, not super interesting, but a good tasting, refreshing beer non the less. I find headstrong beers to always have very fresh, sharp tasting hops and I come back to these beers time and time again when Im looking for something to have with a meal. I Prefer the Pale Ale over the munich lager however. But the lager is still a pretty decent brew.

Bouteille de 650 ml. Blonde dorée, petit collet. Arome de miel malté, un peu houblonné. Goût de malte faiblement sucré, arrière goût amère et peu savoureuse. C’est bien mais c’est tout!
