Oakes (8057), gone rambling, Vietnam Dec 22, 2001 Very clean copper coloured lager with fresh bready malt character. Finishes a little quickly. argo0 (6861), Washington DC, USA Nov 15, 2003 Clear apple juice with small white foamy head. Aroma is light floral, apple. Taste is light malty up top, finishing with a rather bitter aftertaste (grassy/light floral). I'm not sure why, but I found the aftertaste's bitterness unpleasant. Light body. JorisPPattyn (5155), Antwerpen, Belgium May 6, 2005 (Cold) hazy yellow with orangey shine; fluffy snow-white head. Very grassy, bit mouldy, not unlike German "feinherb". Dull initial pilsner taste, grainy, little bit toasted, summergrain. Aftertaste gets some hopcharacter. Slick, grist-like MF; the toasted taste nonobstinating, rather refreshing. Reasonable pilsner. MartinT (5030), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Feb 28, 2005 The Lure: Grassy hops protrude from the yeasty haystack. Cidery hints and sulphur suggestions peek over the transparent golden yellow surface.
The Festivities: Lingering grassy, resinous hop bitterness plays heartily with the earthy yeast. The haystack still looks on from not too far away, as does a rusty, wheel-less car. Light, refreshing, but full of distressing watery interludes.
Transcendence: A competent macro replacement, but nowhere near a good pils replacement. Lubiere (4464), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jun 13, 2009 A golden lager with a thin white head. A very biscuitty malt aroma with fruity notes, and honey. In mouth, a good biscuitty malt, grainy mash tun, with nice English hops. A bit thin but overall pleasant. Bottle from LCBO Kanata. Earlier Rating: 12/24/2004 Total Score: 3.6 Never got around to rating this local beer. but had it many times. Golden lager with a nice thick white head. Sweet hoppy floral aroma, and fresh malts. Very clean malt in taste with atypical floral hoppiness (though typical for Heritage), a light citrus qualities. Reminds of Cerna Hora at L’Amère a Boire. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA Jan 24, 2005 341 ml stubby bottle. See-through golden blond with a modicum of creamy white thin-looking head...fresh, sweet grass and a surprising amount of hoppiness in the nose...solid, full body, moderate herb-flecked hoppiness throughout, a touch of honey and a lovely bitter/dry herbal finish. Top-notch for style; thanks Luc! Radek Kliber (3926), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada Aug 17, 2003 Nice hoppy aroma. White head, gold looking beer. Very hoppy for a lager. Refreshing, flavorful... HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Aug 14, 2006 draught. At 2006 Toronto Festival of Beer. Pale clear yellow, flat-looking, huge frothy white head. PL aroma - generic sweetish grain, dead hops; PL taste of same, a little sour on warming, not all that vegetal; thin, watery mouthfeel, pretty flat, quick diminish, very slight vague "off" aftertaste. Won’t scare Joe Sixpack, but I won’t bother again, at most it’s boring.
