Pint draft at Wild Goose, Chicago. The United States has so much bad beer already, I don’t see why we need any more of it from Canada. It comes off as a slightly skunkier version of High Life.

Enjoyed on tap at Wild Goose in Chicago, IL while watching the Michigan St game with some friends from that area. This was cold, it was on special, and it got us buzzed. It was tolerable, pale yellow beer with not much head, slightly malty flavor, decent.

This brew poured up the standard pale yellow colored body with a foamy, bubbly head that dissipated quickly and left negligible lacing. General aromas of corn and malts. Flavors of the same. Light body and well carbonated makes this an easy quaffer. Brews like this are good for pizza, meatball sandwiches, and hot wings.

Purchased a 24oz tall just for fun - This makes Coors Light taste like a micro. Man, you talk about water + alcohol - any flavor characteristics what-so-ever. A truly crap lager, which everyone already knows.

Bottle. Pours a clear light golden with thin-med head. Aroma of bread, hay. Taste is sweet with little flavor. Thin on the palate, high carbonation, fizzy abrupt finish. Not much to talk about here.

I brought this back from a recent trip to western NY, seems very popular in downtown Alfred. Pours a crystal clear deep golden yellow color with a thinnish white head that dissipates quickly. Looks like carbonated apple juice. Smells of grainy malt, hints of honey, slightly earthy hop aroma. Taste is grainy, grassy, slightly sweet with hints of honey. Medium to low body, medium level of carbonation, sweet watery mouthfeel. This is a bit better than a typical macro lager, clean, a bit sweet, nothing objectionable just nothing remarkable either.

This is the Canadian version of their Budweiser brew. If anything, this has the bare minimum of any ingredient to make this brew good. When your touring canada, dont ask the locals what’s the best canadian beer because this is what they’ll tell you all while laughing behind your back!

In a can at The Globe. Pours a blonde colour with a thick white head. Aroma and flavours of yeast, caramel and malt. Some light grassy hops also. Foamy mouth-feel and heavy carbonation. Not great.
