Gross, gross, gross. I can’t express how awful this beer was. Maybe I’m just biased against the pale bocks, but this beer was absolutely disgusting. Judging by many of the reviews here, this is a good beer to get you drunk before you go out to a club and pay $6 for bottles of Molson Canadian.

UPDATED: OCT 13, 2009 500ml can. A great 7% beer from the LCBO. Very drinkable and offers enough of a challenge. I personally quite enjoy it but I know those who wouldnt. I often start my night with a Holsten Maibock.

500 ML can. Pours a very small head. Apple juice color.Malt like aroma.Light tasting for a German beer. A bit of sweetness in the aftertaste. A good beer to start off the night at 7% alcohol. Overall a pleasant brew.

Mart (211) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - APR 17, 2007
Canette. Couleur or-légèrement cuivrée, mousse qui s’efface très rapidement. Arôme de houblons plus prononcé que celui du malt caramel. Goût léger de caramel, fort d’alcool et d’amertume épicée franche. Finale en alcool. Effervescence moyen et corps moyen à faible. Ordinaire.

Pours a clear golden color with a ring of white lace. The aroma is mostly fruity with some shy malt. The flavor is very bland and boring, slightly fruit and not much in term of malt. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and moderate carbonation. Boring.

yarry (451) - Waterdown, Ontario, CANADA - APR 7, 2007
500ml Can, 7% a/v Nice moderate carbonated gold beer, with a pretty white head. The smell is of apples, pears and other fruit, with a little bit of hops. The taste is much the same, fruity beer, nice backing of malt and a strange sweet but bitter aftertaste. Not bad really, much diffrent then i expected.
