Amber would be pushing it for this beer, more yellow in colour. Taste is thin and fades quickly. It is sweet but lacks characteristics.

473ml can from LCBO. Time to start knocking off the local ratings! More dark yellow than amber but with a nice fluffy medium head and lots of streaming bubbles - that is a surprising 4 for appearance. Aroma is slightly metallic, slightly sweet and just sort of light malt like. Not much there. Taste - the first thing I noticed was the soft almost full mouthfeel - it is also very surprising and nice. Too bad there was not more flavour. Light malt, not really sweet at all with some hops in the end. I had this just after having the Lion Brewery Premium Lager and this did have more flavour while being quite similar. No off tastes at all and a good amount of malt for the style. Not bad, good have been very good with a lot more flavour.

Tasted 11/1/08. 473ml can. Filtered with a dark golden hue. Finger width of bone white head. Not a very good nose. Metallic and sulfurous. Light to medium bodied and mildly crisp. Grainy with a touch sweetness. Meh...

Sweet aroma, low head, caramel and malt and lingering sugar on the tongue. Feh!

(473ml can) Purchased from the LCBO Rideau for $1.95. Pours a slightly carbonated amber body with a caramel nose. Mild hop body with a caramel malt base. Pretty plain but non offensive.

341 ml bottle from MrManning! Thanks Len!!! Nose is slightly grainy with some caramel malts, sweetness and some pinon pine nuttiness; clear amber with a big straw head; flavor is semisweet caramel with an apple note, but only a tiny bit of bitterness in the finish! Decent ADL; actually #21 by style!
