2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Ooh yeah, nothing better than a macro-brewed pilsner!!! I can’t believe I keep finding new ones in the same damned cities! w00t!! Has a bright yellow body and small light and foamy head. Light cardboard aroma. Flavour is bread, armpit, sand. Dry finish. Just about what you’d expect - bad, but not awful. I think that’s a compliment!

Originally rated December 2005. OK. This beer spells more popcorn, than pilsener. It pours a golden colour with a small head and lacing. The nose is malty with some notes of corn. Water mouthfeel that is crisp. The taste has a slight bite at first with some bitterness, but then leads into the major corn dish. When a burp comes out, that is when you feel the popcorn effect... you can even taste the butter on it.

Can - another what the heck. Pours goldish yello, massive white head that settles to white lacing. No real smell to speak off - taste is ok when cold but nothing really comes to the forfront - inoffensive from start to finish is probably the best that can be said - and considering that some beers are drain pours at least this is drinkable (although I wouldn’t want to drink it anything but cold :).

Smells like a cheap beer but it has no taste and is really easy to drink when its cold.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pale straw colored pour. The aroma has a bit of straw aroma. No real hoppiness at all. It tastes like all-malt, but the beer is pretty bland in and of itself. Meh.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
can. Poured clear amber with a white head. Light grainy malt aroma. Cereal grain flavour, a little dry. Nothing special, typical buck a beer character.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20
341 ml bottle in the singles basket at LCBO, served almost cold in a tulip glass.
App.: Clear light golden with a so-so white foam.
Aroma: Cooked grains /cereals, a slight vegetal note?, a touch of vague fruitiness and a touch of vague hopiness (awww, it matches).
Palate: Medium body, medium carbonation.
Flav.: Pretty lacklustre, to say the least; weak cereal/grain and fruitiness, no discernable hop presence; dry with no bitterness to speak of and a fairly flat, very slightly fruity finish.
I’ll taker a Laker, should I wind up in Hell with only those two choices...

This beer has decent flavour and I do enjoy sitting back and having a lakeport once in a while
