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.

Thanks Sammy...Nice lager. Very drinkable, with a smooth finish not corny (as in corn tasting not stupid-funny). It looks like a picture perfect beer---Betty Crocker would be proud to photograph it for the upcoming season session. Has the nose of sweet necture too ripe with unexpected honey under tones.

Aroma: Sweet, floral, honey, bruised fruit, very little Munich malt character. Apprarance: Murky orange low carbonation no head Flavour: Sweet, toasty, Hop flavour is good but shows little bitterness, mild oxidized papery/cardboard character. Mouthfeeel: Light medium body with very little carbonation almost flat. Overall: Falls flat. needs more carbonation for liveliness. Oxidized flavour detracts from the scant Munich malt flavour. Couldn’t finish the bottle.

Not a bad lager, even if I’m no fan of the type. Almost no head but subtile taste.

Pours a deep gold with very little head. Faint fruit aroma and a bready malt flavour with floral notes and semi-sweet finish. Very tasty. Cheers!

Bouteille de 650 ml achetée à la LCBO (Ottawa, ONT). Arôme: Odeur d’houblon avec une pointe de pêches. Apparence: La couleur est cuivrée avec une très faible densité de bulle. Présence d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de caramel avec une pointe d’agrumes légèrement épicés. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps et la texture sont mince. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Présence d’une légère amertume fruitée en arrière goût. (Rating #602)

Bottle: Poured a medium copper with very little head really. dominated by a malty blend of flavours and aromas. I felt it was pretty standard. Some sour fruit bitterness keep the finish sharper. Decent enough, but not alot to distinguish this one for me though.

Golden lager with a thin dissipating white head. Crisp hops aroma with a rather sweet fruity esters wafting through. In mouth, a rather sweet lager with interesting sharp hops, lingering in mouth. The sweetness was a bit of a turnoff. LCBO.

650ml brown bottle purchased @ LCBO - where else? Pours golden amber, kinda orangy with small head that didn’t last too long but left pretty good lacing. Had a faint malty yet fruity aroma. Very good malty start that finished pretty good as well; kinda hoppy but not too much. Beats most lagers found in my area.
