When Interbrew thins out the Labatts roster, this will be one of the first to go. No one will notice.

Pretty standard macro lager. Bit maltier with a sort of odd mild bite to it at times. Average palate. Not unpleasant but not a whole lot going on either. Enjoyed as a groomsmen at the Blevins-Graham wedding.

We had many of those last night (oh man what a night). I hated that watery stuff. I could not find anything positive in this beer. Weak even for American standard.

(Bottle) Finally got around to filing this American Standard. Pours a medium white head and a golden body. Gets its smoothness from the watery flavour. Average

oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - OCT 30, 2008
Pours a light golden yellow color. Aromas of a little skunk( nice hints of malt and grass. Flavor is an almost watered down version of its big brother, with some of the taste.

12oz bottle, no date. Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of light corn and grain, spicy, earthy hops. The hops are very subtle. The taste is the same. Sharp carbonation, watery mouthfeel. A decent pale lager--which isn’t saying much.

Thanks Jimmy for this one! Bottle- Sparkly gold pour emits a loud and fizzy bleached white head, with little retention. Mostly grainy aroma with a slight skunk. Stale hops flavours offer more flavour than blue, but after reading the description about Saaz hops, I tried to detect these very distinguishable hops, and couldn’t. There’s more flavours here, but I can’t put my finger on it. Better than blue in any event. Doesn’t seem to be too popular in my area.
