1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
My go to beer when I was living in Canada and didn’t know any better. Just recently revisited. Smells like the business end of a skunk, looks like clear urine and has almost no flavor to speak of. Exactly like I remember!

Tap at Harbour Center Toronto. Buddies of mine got a pitcher. Light yellow color, very little aroma. Very light taste, but a little watery.

UPDATED: JUL 19, 2009 Bottle. 5%. Must say, as a nationalist, that this beer far exceeds mass produced American swill like Bud, Miller, or Michelob. However, just a plain pale lager with a bland, mildly refreshing taste that I would rarely order anywhere.

Typical pale lager, and that’s not a compliment. Aroma is malt, crorn, grass. The appearance is true to the style, straw gold, white head. The flavor is malty sweet, grass, corn and othe adjuncts. The finish is noble hops, creating a clean if unremarkable bitter finish. OK for what it is.

Just barely non-offensive. This brew initially tastes like the macrobrews you can get for cheaper, but leaves a unique meaty aftertaste.

Overall Impression:
Even if you haven’t had this, you’ve had stuff like this before...It’s Canada’s attempt at the Macro Pale Lager...
0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
UPDATED: AUG 30, 2009 Pours your basic yellow, with a foamy, non-lacing head that very quickly dissipates to naught. Nose is sweet and sour corn, grain, a certain bitter character that I am very reluctant to attribute to hops. Cookie dough? Palate is light and watery, with a certain bile-efluent character that has made me avoid this beer for years. Basic corniness, unpleasant sourness, no finish, leaves your mouth feeling waxy afterward. Hateful spiteful, and unpleasant. I give a score of 1 to a beer that is the equal of a glass of water, but this is so genuinely unpleasant that it cannot even aspire to this lofty standard. To quote Monty Python, this is not a beer for drinking, this is a beer for laying down and avoiding!
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours clear gold and almost no head. Corn and sweet fruit aroma. Sweet corn taste, refreshing at least. Thin and watery.
