COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Fresh, smooth taste coupled with pronounced hop character distinguishes it from other lagers. Editor's note: Used to be called "Genuine Draft" but they've dropped the "Draft".

HogTownHarry (4873) - Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, CANADA - MAY 5, 2006
Bottle (341ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow, jerc and Tupalev - tupalev’s bottle. Poured pale flat yellow with a wispy little head. Nasty, (bad) sour-funky aroma - tries to be sweet; fails - reminiscent of spoiled grain and dead weeds. Taste is scorched grassy-sweet, with sour grain and cardboard, thin, almost - ALMOST - hoppy bitter, ugh. Watery body, astringent and lightly carbonated - just poor - smells horrid.

dkazuk (248) - winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - MAY 8, 2008
341ml bottle.
Pours quite a pale yellow with a fair sized white head that piddles away soon after. Malty, bready, and grassy aroma thats better than most macro lagers. Watery, metallic, dusty flavour. Watery feel.

Cole (925) - , Alberta, CANADA - AUG 15, 2010
Pours golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is very dull and slightly sweet. Notes of corn and other fillers. Not much to say about the flavour. pretty watery. Pretty standard Canadian pale lager.

cards04 (317) - Steinbach, Manitoba, CANADA - JAN 11, 2012
Pours a bright golden color with some head. There aren’t a tonne of differences between this beer and Labatt Blue. Some hoppy bitternes. Not good.

GregClow (2667) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 4, 2006
Bottle shared with blankboy, jerc, HogTownHarry & tupalev - courtesy of tupalev. Pale piss yellow with a tiny white head. Aroma of plastic and cat pee. Flavour of... pretty much nothing. Whoopee.

blankboy (4454) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 6, 2006
Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, jerc & tupalev -- courtesy of tupalev. Pours a clear pale yellow with a spare white head. Crappy aroma of sweet grain, corn and sugar. Flavour -- bleargh! Awful aftertaste. Very thin bodied. Complete shit.

JoeMcPhee (6967) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 15, 2005
Pale golden, white fast dissipating head. Pale malt aroma, slightly sweet. Flavour is sweet up front with a very thin body. Very metallic finish. Poor and unpleasant.
