Draught at the brewpub, as Sutter Hill
Blond color, nice perlage. Many German Lagers are like this non-Pilsner (not very interesting but balanced); maybe it’s just a bit more perfumy.

Pours the colour of the containers that pills come in from the pharmacy. Really crisp clear orange, but maybe a slight slight bit more light yellow comparatively. And I would know because im staring at both the beer and one of those bottles of pills…. Don’t mix booze and drugs! Does advil count? Ah shit… any how, really nice stream of carb shoting up from the bottom middle. Bright white head, even like 5-10 mins later. Smell is very light and clean, crisp grassy hop, little bitter, slight light pear, like a really unripe pear, that is a little bit more bland than super juicy. Theres also some bready malt, nothing in terms of caramel or toastiness. Strange kind of rubber smell from like a balloon. Taste isvery fruity, actually surprising how much more juicy pear comes through on the taste. It’s a little tangy, something slightly chemical, almost plastic like, like the ballon smell. Other than that, though the flavour is okay. No alcohol taste, no hop bitterness. The body is still fairly light, but its approaching a mid range. OK if not balloon-y.

Had a taster of 6 at the Jasper Brewing Co. Just like a lager in Whistler very nice beer.

Cask@Jasper Brewery Brewpub, Jasper. Pale golden beer with a mildly dry aroma and a dry, watery and mildly hopped flavour. Overall nice dry beer but average

Slightly hazy yellow gold brew with an ok white cap. Decent retention and good lacing. The aroma was wet grass (not lawn - more of a wild prairie grass), touch of honey and slightly fruity. Comes across with a nice ammount of tangy stiff hops and a lots of grain (???) as well as tasting dry. Not really all that smooth - a bit rocky actually which for whatever reason was good. Nice solid hop finish. Good length for the aftertaste. I like the hops they have used here. This is a good beer.

Tap, at brewpub. As Sutter Hill Pil. Lemon yellow colour. Low sticky white cap. Grainy dryish malt nose. Flavour of moderately crisp and grainy malt, light grassy hops. Body was light as was the mouthfeel. Straightforward German influenced lager.

Draft 6 oz at the brewpub; Pale beer with the same shine and gluey head as teh honey beer. Lightly malty aroma. Fruity and tangy with a puckery little bite to it. Bit light for a pils, and almost indistinguishable from their honey. Quaffable, though. (#2887, 5/15/2007)

On tap at Jasper Brewing Company. Poured a clear paler golden with a well-retained cap of creamy white head. Nose was of sweet pils and pale malts, and lemon... simple, soft, and pleasant. Very nice initial flavor (smooth pale malt, pils malt, and sourdough breadiness)... but found some diacetyl, unwelcome pepper, and vegetal notes on the back end. Creamy on the palate upfront, but ugly on the back... tacky pale malt finish.
