1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
UPDATED: JUN 27, 2006 Or "Arn city" as the locals pronounce it. Sampled from a 16 oz can - ice cold - as that is the only survivable way to drink this one. It pours a medium golden color with a large soapy white head. The aroma is sour macro tang. The flavor is your typical macro sour tangy loaded with corn. Uggh.

Al Bottle. Yellow body with a thin ring of bubbbles. Taste-holy burnt plastic, Batman! Are you kidding me? Tastes burned, scorched, and neglected! Not only does this taste like a bad macro, it tastes like a bad macro filtered through the remains of a burnt plastic factory! You guys are going to have to come up with a better gimick than a metal bottle...

Pale straw pour. The nose is fairly sweet with a bit of corn aroma. Bland, boring and not very good at all.

(12 oz aluminum bottle: Obtained in trade with Eyedrinkale, thanks Mike!) Well, cool bottle, let’s start off with that. Pop the cap, pour the beer, and the medium yellow liquid is capped by a white head that is nearly an inch tall. The occasional carbonation bubble rises through the beer, and if there were more, this would be a really nice looking beer initially. The head does fade to a rim within 5 minutes or so, and any lacing left on the glass dissipates as rapidly as the head. The nose is dry straw and grain, typical of the style. A rather light flavored lager, wow, there’s just not much going on here. Watery and thin on the palate and the flavor. Hard to hate how this beer tastes since there just isn’t much flavor. Lightly sweet, grainy, minimally bitter, can’t really detect any hops. The finish is very short lived, fading away rapidly. Probably not something I’d ever buy, but if I were really thirsty, I could probably finish an entire pint without retching. Not nearly as bad as I was expecting.

Average gold body with good carbonation and a thin white bubbly head. Fair malty/hoppy aroma with some flowery, herbal, and bready notes. Unexciting watery taste that carries some CO2 and metallic hints. Ends with an unpleasant metallic finish. The only cool thing with that beer is the bottle...

Just another beer that copies the regular old American swill. The new aluminum bottle really did it for me. Pale gold, lots of fizz in the short head. Lots of gas and club soda. Corn syrup and the faintest of hop. I’m so happy I get to try beers like this. Soley a number. Wow.

Way too sweet-dextrose? Makes plain lager drinkable though. Artificial candy aroma. Appropriately carbonated.Thin mouthfeel. Not worth finishing bottle

355ml alum. bottle. Gold colour, poor head retention, a few tiny bubbles stuck to the edge of the glass then totally vanished. Aroma was corny, a little grain. Very light in the flavour dept, weak citrus note, thin malt and corn. Thin body, average carboantion. Corny grainy clinging aftertaste. Not sure why the LCBO bothered to get this one.
