Ontario brewpubs somehow got hard time in making decent pilsner. This one is no exception. Average.

Draught at the brewpub. Mild fruity aroma. Clear red amber colour. The flavour is mildly malty. Has a little earth and fruit.

light hops, and cooked veggies. Some subtle grains, and apples. Nothing fancy just a bare bones pils.

On tap at the brewpub. Deep golden colour, thin white ring of a head. Fruity grainy aroma and flavour, nearly no bitterness. Soft mouthfeel. Comes across more as an ale than a lager.

On tap at the brewpub. Mild hops, some carbonation. Nice hint of fruitiness. Maybe it was because it was after a long day of moving, but this really hit the spot, so I’m going to let my judgment be a little skewed.

On Tap- Pale yellow pour sits under a short lived fizzy cap. The nose of of stale pale malts, spent grains, apple juice, and a weird chemical like tin aroma. The taste weird. Like a tinny, dish soap with grains and pale malts with a weird fruit component. I asked my server for another glass, cause I thought this one had dish soap in it still, but the second tasted the same. I could only finish half of my second glass. Ouch.

Draught. At the brewpub. Slightly cloudy yellow-gold with a small head. Aroma of diacetyl, sugar, and stale weediness. The taste was papery - stale and slightly harsh, all cheap sugary grain (not just the normal malt extract tang, this was worse). Slightly thick bodied but still and harsh, I had trouble choking it down, frankly - pretty cheap stuff.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours a clear yellow-gold with a small diminishing white head. Mild aroma of buttery toffee, grain and faint hops. Flavour: Yikes, there’s something borderline wrong with this, like there’s soap in it or something. Light to average bodied. I don’t like this at all.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear, bright golden colour. Aroma is fruity, with a cheap malt character and negligible hops. Thin body with very little carbonation. Flavour is watery, with nothing off the top, faint malts in the middle, and a dead finish. Not good.

Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of biscuity malt with weak hops. The flavor is concentrated on biscuity malt with some mild, floral hops that remind me of saaz. The body has a light to medium thickness with a dry mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not bad but gets boring after a while.

Light mouthfeel, subdued carbonation, light mouthfeel almost watery. The only aroma is the soap not fully rinsed out of the glass. That’s what they seem to like down here. Nevertheless, decent bitterness and well malted. Lace in the glass.
