Aug 4, 2008 [1292-20080413] 341mL bottle. Smells like alcoholic straw dipped in honeyed lake water. Clear, pale yellow body with quick foamy white bubbles. More hay grains and straw in the flavour. Suprisingly smooth light-medium body. Not as terrible as it smells.

May 27, 2008 355ml can. Yellow coloured beer with a fast fading white head. Aroma is slightly fruity but mainly corny. Flavour has apple juice sweetness, corn and paper. Finish is quick and dry. Light bodied and surprisingly not super fizzy.

Apr 30, 2008 Bottle courtesy of MrManning. Pours a very pale gold with a small diminishing fizzy white head. Aroma’s odd. It’s sweet, corny, vegetal and grainy -- that sounds like your typical Canadian buck-a-beer but there’s something about the sum of it’s parts that’s different and weird. I’ve honestly smelt much worse though, for one thing it’s pretty mild so that helps -- still, it’s not very nice. Flavour: Ehhh, it starts passable but a few sips in and I’m not loving it. There’s not much flavour at first but then it’s corn, grain, alcohol and an unpleasant finish. Light to medium bodied, sticky mouthfeel. Anyways, I’m done with this, down the drain the rest goes.

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle (341ml). From either MrManning or Matt7215 - not really sure. Gold pour with a large bright white frothy styrofoam-looking head and totally still looking after the pour settled (2+). Sweet aroma, honey, clover and a bit of paper. Taste - yeck - watered-down pvc and brown grocery bags, vaguely sweet and very harsh. Watery, still, harsh mouthfeel - not horrible, but easily avoided. Another winner - "thanks" Lakeport - at least you’re a friggin buck a bottle (rolls eyes).

Appearance: Clear , straight golden brew with medium light white top.
Nose : Plain , grainy dusty aroma similar to sleeman ales. Light hint of hop spice with sugar dust.
Flavor/Palate : Medium thin bodied. Fairly smooth with out excessive carbonation. Sure its light and simple as can be but it is also fairly drinkable. Light biter ending in sweet pale malt brew. No rocket science here I give you that but in discount beer category this is a steal.
