2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
12 oz bottle purchased at the grocery store. Poured a clear yellow color with a thin white head. The aroma was grain and corn. The flavor had grassy notes, but not much else.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: FEB 26, 2009 Bottle. Leans toward a sort of spiciness with a macabre sweet finish - not quite balanced. Watery mouthfeel. Honestly...I am not quite sure what hops are being used...but it leaves a lingering bitterness - sort of like the same effect of smoking a cheap cigar. Bitter for a lager. However priced competitively to domestic lager.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle from Bier Koning. Pale golden body, big head. Skunky nose. Taste of grass, corn and straw. Pretty watery. Mediocre.
0.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
skunked to the max, watery, unpleasantly off, corny taste. smell like walking by a sewer (not an exaggeration) with a long gritty harsh finish. this beer is incredible, a perfect example of how most people’s tastes seem to be the 180 degree opposite of what is pleasant and good value. my most hated canadian beer brand considering it is so damn expensive and popular.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pour: 12 oz bottle to pint glass. Clear pale straw color with a decently formed white head. Even leaves some lacing.
Nose: No skunk, just plain ol’ corn and grain.
Mouth: Surprising heft of flavor. Not as watery as your average pale lager. Lightly toasted cereal grains with a touch of adjunct sweetness. Inoffensive. Semidry, sort of slimy and astringent on the palate. High drinkability, low desirability.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a pale yellow with a slightly bigger head than most pale lagers I’ve seen. Aroma is skunkier than a macro brewed pale lager. Hints of straw and a lot of hops in the nose as well. Flavor is sweeter than the nose lets on. Corn, straw, and a slightly musty finish. Much more going on than a Molson or Labatt’s product.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pours golden Sweet malt with a big skunky hop aroma. Flavor is much the same.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
From the 330ml bottle. Tall white head, nice golden colour, pretty skunky, nice hop flavor. Pretty Good commercial lager.
