Skunky wheat & hay in the nose, a little honey. Flavor is water wheat, lemon. More of that lemony wheat in the finish. I’m a big fan of the bottle though.

I had this beer for the first time at, appropriately enough, a casino in Las Vegas. We all patted the buddha belly on the cute molded bottle. Maybe it helped me at the roulette wheel, I dunno... Easy drinking.

In Chinatown. A not good but not offensive bland pale lager. Washes down the food well. Didn’t seem overly adjuncty. Serving: Bottle

It was good nothing special. Very light, you notice the little hints of honey but through and through just a basic beer.

Bouteille verte 330ml. De couleur dorée-jaune et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle sucrés avec des notes maïs sucré, de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) ainsi qu’avec des traces de mouffette. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux ainsi qu’une texture légèrement aqueuse et aux petites notes crémeuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle assez sucrés dès l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de maïs avec des traces de pain et de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé). Post-goût moyen-court, aux notes amères de houblon herbeux avec des notes de grains.

Bottle @ The Coulard Bar, Lossiemouth [060413]
Golden, clear, thin white head
Aroma - soft skunk, slight earthy aroma, light corn malt, hint of cereal
Taste - light sweet pale cereal malts, cereal, little going on but it isn’t too bad tbh
Palate - Medium to high carb, sweet pale malt palate. Finish is clean, soft sweet linger
Overall - Slightly better than the usual rubbishy macro lager - slightly sweeter

Bottle from the LCBO. Um, it has a cool looking Buddha shaped bottle... But that's about all it has going for it. The liquid inside the bottle was just foul. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Clear light yellow with a white head. Aroma and flavor is full of grain notes and nothing else. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Very bland.

Pours yellow with a thin white head that’s gone in short order. Aroma is hay and pale malt with maybe a hint of corn. Flavor is rather sweet, followed by a sour corn type flavor. Medium bodied for such a light beer. Slightly fizzy carbonation. Not a bad beer. I’d take one over any mass-produced American piss any day. Besides, the bottle is cool!

Bottle - unable to pour out of bottle to look at, sweet light malty aroma and flavor, pretty typical import pale lager taste, mild fruity notes - added points for the cool Buddha shaped bottle! Just wish the actual beer was half as good as the bottle. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
