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.

473ml can. Nice golden colour. Good sized thick head. Nice bready aroma, with some decent hops, and a nice bready maltiness. The flavour though is a different story, it tastes of cheap grain, with a sickly sweet malty corny bite, with a bit of a metallic aftertaste.

Clear light amber with medium, fast-dissipating head. Smells caramelly, too much so. Sweet aroma. Soft, medium carbonation. Sweet caramelly flavors. Too sweet!

Golden-straw colour. Soft, slightly caramelly palate. Full, rounded, but a little bit watery. A fairly forgettable effort.

Can. Pours golden orange with a sweet aroma with fresh custy bread and butter, lemon, faint grassiness. I taste hop bitterness, mandarin orange, faint lemon, orange rind, metal in the finish, with bitter hops.

500 ml can from the LCBO. This is a good beer. But I probably wont buy it again because there is nothing about it that really got my attention.

Sweet cereal and bread-like grain with floral and lightly spicy hops in the nose. Brilliantly clear deep golden body is topped by a generous and foamy white head that lasts well and laces the sides of the glass. Breadlike malt flavour seems overly sweet and bitterness is late to arrive and not quite enough to take the edge off. Medium light body with overly prickly carbonation that is a bit harsh on the front of the tongue. Lager glass. Just above fridge temperature. Can (Brewery Creek, Jul-08).
