[1092-20080211] Tap @ Lion brewpub (Waterloo, ON). Grainy yeast alcohol aroma. Clear, pale yellow body with a quick creamy white head. Grainy alcohol continues in flavour with a hint of evergreen. Medium body is a little rough. Average -- never thought I’d say this but the light is better than the lager here.

On tap at the hotel- Pours a transparent amber, with a frothy white fizz. Faint aroms of grains and apple juice with a bit of perfume. Flavour profile is sweet fruit (apple, some pear) grainy, almost corn husky, some bready yeast. Watery finish. One of the less flavourful beers from this brewer.

At the brewpub. A bit of malt and yeast. Fresh, with some lace. Tiny head. Token bitterness, overcarbonated. Pale amber colour.Watery weak body. About average and signature for the brews at this brewpub. Easy to drink compared to a macro and reminicent of the beers I had at University.

Tapped a clear amber-glold with a 1 finger white cap...modest lace. Very little aroma....just a light musty sweetness. Medium light bodied. light malt spine. sandy-grainy mouthfeel. Grainy/bready up front then this is balanced by a sour/musty/citrusy decernment from the hops and lager yeast. Finish is fast and clean with light bittering A standard nondiescipt golden lager...a fair house lager but I wouldn’t drive very far to sample it.

It was orange in color with no head at all. The taste was a bit skunky. Not my type of beer. It was not very enjoyable.
