1.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
I get frightened by the label, that tells me, that it has "no aftertaste" - how can you use this as a sales argument? A beer is supposed to have an aftertaste - I definately want one in my beer - and it better be good. The beer is yellow with a small white head. The aroma is grainy and corny. The flavor is sweet grainy and slightly corny - and as it says on the label, it has absolutely no aftertaste - it simple vanishes.

(Bottle) Pours a clear golden body with a medium-sized white head. Aroma of corn grain and wet grass. Flavor is watery with grass hops.

On tap at The Maple Leaf, Covent Garden. Golden. Ugly aroma. Not that good, some nice biting hop on end. Some citrus. It’s a lager.

Dry? Yeah, it’s dry. Much like chasing seltzer water with a mouthfull of sand. I just can’t believe the commercial description. It’s almost comical, sad, but almost downright funny.

Can’t believe that I cracked this the day after swillfest, but there it is. Pale golden, white head, slicky lace. Pale malt aroma, bland flavour with a bit of sweetness and absolutely no bitterness. Boring. Man, do these guys actually beleive their beer descriptions... aroma hops??? How stupid do they think we are.

Can at St.Jean Party in Aylmer. Blonde, fizzy, corn, fizzy, tin, fizzy, ...enough said. Rating 2222!

Can I give points for the Fruedian advertising? The jumping action shots of attractive young people spraying each other with this yellow liquid is amusing... as is the laundry detergent logo on the front of the bottle. I had to buy a bottle since this is apparently the best selling beer in Quebec, so it’s way for me to tap into the taste of Quebeceneers... or something. The beer itself is a clear, bright Lemon Jello color, and the aroma is a decently sweet lemon, corn and handsoap mixture. Flavor is somewhat crisp, light but not too fizzy, with a sweet grain and corn flavor that turns a bit soap and more heavy on the soap on the back of the tongue, with a lingering oily finish that’s very unpleasent. Another gem from Canada, eh?
