Bottle from assorted Mill St. 6-pack, from LCBO. Pours a too-pale yellow. Aroma of peach, with a slight hop presence. Taste is peach, corn, and grain, with a dry metallic finish. Not even good by lager standards.

341ml bottle pours a clear pale straw colour with an inch bubbly white head that dissipates quickly leaving no lacing. Aroma is light cereal grains, hops with some skunkiness. Light flavour, mostly alcohol followed by hops and slight sweet malt. Wouldn't buy it again or even drink if offered for free. The entire organic offering is a style that isn't worth drinking.

On tap @ Soho Bistro Toronto. Pours clear golden yellow with a small rich white head. Struggled to get an aroma (perhaps because I’m sitting on a sidewalk patio on Yonge Street on a hot day). Creamy with a very mild hoppy bite. Taste was mild grain, subtle hop. Refreshing but unremarkable.

I’d have to say it is extremely creamy. It has a good smell, it’s not overly beer-ish. For an organic beer it is very good as most organic beers have a very strong, yeasty taste. I found out about this beer from a friend, and I enjoy it on the odd occasion. I recommend trying.

Well I guess we can’t blame them for wanting to make a buck, but this really is an offensive beer. It is possible to make good ~4% stuff. This is made for people who don’t care for beer obviously. It’s fine if you don’t. I lived in Southeast Asia for years and tried REALLY hard, many times, to enjoy eating crickets. The locals loved it; I just couldn’t get into it. You know what I did when I eventually gave up? I didn’t buy organic light crickets so I wouldn’t have to pose and pretend I enjoyed it; I bought a hamburger instead. If this is the kind of beer you find yourself reaching for at the liquor store, maybe it’s time to check out the wine section.

I thought it would be a good beer. Upon tasting it, though, it was truly harsh on the initial and aftertaste. For a lager it has a good colour and appearance but that’s about it.

on tap at brewpub. very light yellow. small white head, no retention. some sweet malts, very light hoppiness - grassy-citrusy. aggressive carbonation, very light body, no finish.

Clear yellow, foamy white head fades. Mild malty aroma. Lightly sweet malts balanced with a dash of hops. Clean and refreshing, though unremarkable. LF (Lagerboy Friendly)

341ml bottle pours a pale straw color with a finger of white head that dissipates quickly leaving no lacing behind. Aroma is light cereal grains and mild hops with some skunkiness. Taste is light sweet malts and mild hop bitterness. Another cheap swill of a beer and not recommended.

Has a slight note of something appraoching skunk. id love to say it was an organic taste, but then id just be supporting the marketing behind another crappy tasting lager. bottle at the imperial pub
