Thanks to savvy for this one. Pale swill colour. Aroma is all dms - mmmm skunk cabbage. Some appley, sulphury notes on the palate. Very thin. Total shit.

2010-06-18. Crisp pale yellow with a small white head that fades. 2+ Sweet industrial pale malts in aroma. Flavour is similar, very sweet pale malts, and an odd not quite fruit character that is not entirely unpleasant, but a bit bizarre. Average palate. Not as bad as it could be, but certainly not delicious. Bottle via Savvy1982

June 18, 2010. 341ml bottle shared by jerc & mabel with me, blankboy and gregclow. Yes, we split a 12oz bottle six ways - trust me, it was MORE than enough. Shudder. Pale yellow, clear, flat, no head - 2-. Fusel, acetone aroma (this is beer?), cheaply sweet and weirdly floral. The taste - sweetened corn, vaguely like a cheap fortified cider watered down and strained through stale, sunburnt weeds. Thin, watery, slightly boozy mouthfeel, certainly adequately carbonated, with a weird stale, sugary harsh aftertaste. Actually, not totally horrible, but cheap, harsh, a bit ugly and completely without any possible reason for existing. Who drinks this bum juice?

Big props to Josh for getting us into the elusive club! Cabbage is strong in the nose. Clear golden body is topped by a low, partial cover of head. Flavour follows the aroma. Light body moderate carbonation. I really have nothing more to say about this beer. Bottle sampled with Oakes.

Bottle [341ml] shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, jerc & mabel -- c/o of j&m. Pours a very clear pale gold with a small diminishing white head. Aroma of cardboard, sugar and rice -- it’s way too sweet. Flavour of rice, grain and sugary sweetness. Light to average bodied. Utter shit.

Single can purchase from Sherbrooke Liquor store in Edmonton. The can states it is "naturally aged" (as opposed to all of those artificially aged beers), which I think may be a reference to how long this crap remains sitting in the store unpurchased. Pale straw yellow, big bubbly head with aromas of stinky wet dishrag. Featureless pale macro palate, on the sweet side, harsh finish. A step below Blue even.

[2912-20100618] 341mL bottle. Floral wheat sheaves aroma has notes of plastic and urinal cakes. Clear, yellow brown body with a quick foamy white head and some lacing. More floral hay stack notes in the flavour. Light-medium body. Not great.

Gold colour. Bubbly. Maintains a decent thin white head. Macro-corn aroma. Of course almost tasteless, but in a smooth way (har-har). Some sweetness but forgetable other than as a cold fast-food chaser.

355ml can pours a pale straw color with a small white head and no lacing. Aroma is light grains and hops. Taste is slightly metallic with an undesirable hop bitterness that lingers. Below average macro lager which I drank long before I knew any better.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow, and almost flat, very little in the way of carbonation, a scant white head appears with aggressive pouring, but no head remains, and there is scarcely any apparent carbonation. Very poor lacing. Nose is very soft, apples and dry earth, mild corny mass-production aroma, very slightly unpleasant, but no particular note that I can pin down that makes me feel so. Palate is very soft again, watery, and man, this beer is almost flat... mild mega-corporation corn, no hops, sweetness comes in the finish. Not sure what I was expecting with this, but damn... maybe a good thing this stuff is almost impossible to find.
