At $7 a case, this might be, oz. for oz., the world’s best bargain beer. Tastes like a cheap Yuengling. Quite drinkable.

473ml can pours a pale straw color with a 2 finger white head that settles almost as quickly as its poured. Aroma is grainy malts and grassy hops. Taste is more of the same. Typical macro brew.

Nothing better than a random beer in a can from southern Ontario airlifted to the arctic.... price be darned! Looks okay, decent level of foamy head and bubbly macro-lager goodness in the body. Soft aroma of sweet rotten corn stench with barely a hint of cardboard. Flavour has some strong fruity esters and adjuncts thrown in with a citrusy and bitter finish. Dry, at least. While it’s totally not great, it’s much better than the other macro I’ve been drinking up her for the last couple of months (and thus my relatively highy rating might be just celebrating a bit of variety!).

Prob the best ’laker’ brand beer I have had, it was actually not bad, general when a beer is label ice I find it to be quite bitter but this one was kind of smooth and it has a sweet tasting finish. Overall I would have again

Very uninteresting beer, tough palette too similar to all other cheap beers

Quite possibly the cheapest beer known to man. $6 for a case, in bottles, and its imported. Interestingly enough it ain’t half bad either.

Metalchopz (1429) - Quebec, CANADA - JAN 24, 2012
Originally rated September 2005. Bought in the cheapy single section of the LCBO. Pours a golden colour with hardly any carbonation. The white head dissipates quickly and leaves a bit of lace. The nose seems like alcohol, metallic water and grains. The taste is slightly bitter and bites a bit with the alcohol, then goes into this clean dry aftertaste with hints of corn. Pretty refreshing and easy drinkability, but hits the spot... and you feel it without seeing it come.

Clear yellow color. Sour malty, bubblegum aroma. Some sweet flavors. Pretty bad stuff.

jgb9348 (3497) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - DEC 7, 2003
Golden colour with a super thin white head. Aroma of light hops, metal and malt. Light-bodied; Sweet malty taste-same as any other lager. Nothing special with this one. Overall, not worth trying! I had this bottle at the Winter Party at Oakes' place in Toronto, Canada on 05-December-2003.
