Light golden colour, thin quickly dissipating white coloured head, thin spotty lacing. The aroma is grainy, wheaty, some grassy hops. The flavour has some corn, grains, cereal, pale malts, quite sweet. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, light body, medium carbonation. Finishes lightly bitter, watery. Basic, bland and straight forward.

Best before April, 2007.

Corn aroma with a hint of gasoline. I am not going to finish this unit, so it’s a good thing it was only $1.

Bottled. Golden coloured. Grassy and malty notes in the aroma and in the flavour. Rather light bodied. Bland.

Golden and slightly carbonated. Very clear appearance and slightly dry.Fairly run of the mill lager, not in the same class as their wonderful stout.

Bottle labeled ’Sinha Lager’. Pours a clear gold with an average size white head. Aroma is sweet and grainy along with corn and maybe a hint of hops. Watery flavour of malt, grain and corn with a light bitter finish -- dull as hell but at least there’s nothing foul about it. Light bodied. It’s drinkable at best.

Hop malt aroma. Clear yellow brown colour with poor head and alcing. Bitter hop malt flavour. Flat paalte.

A golden lager with a thick creamy white head. A rather interesting aroma of corn and musty cave, lightly lactic. In mouth, a run of the mill light lager, with light chalky notes, and corn in the mash. LCBO Sinha gift back, Nov. 2006.
