Bottle from Brewforia. Pours amber with a creamy beige head. Aroma is mild caramel with a little earthy/herby hop. Med body. Flavor is amber with nice bitter earthy/grassy hop. Nothing wrong with this.

hayduke (2445) - Eureka, California, USA - OCT 31, 2011
From Albertsons in Clarkston, WA. Pour a clear light amber with a small off-white head. Nose of corn and lightly roasted malts. Light body and fizzy mild mouthfeel. Flavor is grainy, and the finish is lightly bitter. Not bad if ice cold but not very nice as it warms.

GT2 (3414) - Washington DC, USA - AUG 8, 2011
355mL can. Pours a clear light amber, more golden, with a temporary, fizz head. Decent retention. Nose is honey sweetness, adjunct sweetness. Taste is mild toast, fuller bread, but overall still very spritzy, near fruity, and clean with mild saltwater. No brewing flaws. Decent enough.

355ml can purchased at Lake St Louise Village Alberta liquor store for $2.60 Not bad.

gramity (520) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 15, 2011
Pours a nice golden amber colour, thin finger of head with no real retention, and surprisingly left a little acing on the glass. Very mild on the nose, with only some light bready, biscuit malts coming through. T - The biscuit malts dominate the flavour, some mild caramel, as well as a bit of a sweet corn taste that lingers on the palette. Nicely carbonated, goes down incredibly smooth. More flavourful than the regular Kokanee offering. No strong flavours, but nothing offensive either. M

DeanF (1477) - Iqaluit, Nunavut, CANADA - FEB 16, 2011
Has a dark gold body with no head to speak of. Aroma is grain and caramel with a hint of tin. Taste is much the same, with a crappy mouthfeel hinting at adjuncts. Its only saving grace is that it’s better than usual for a macro lager.

baraciisch (558) - USA - AUG 14, 2010
Golden brown in color... Crisp lager aroma, light malts... Flavor is sweet and malty, not much on the palate... Easy to drink, much better than your run of the mill macrobrew lager, but also fairly simple without much complexity... Pretty good if you are looking for a bud alternative
