COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A smooth clean-tasting lager that offers a good balance between malt sweetness and hop bitterness

12 oz. bottle from some shitty bar in Cincinnati- I think it was called Yesterdays and it’s up in Mt. Adams with all the more pretentious bars. Anyway, the green bottle wasn’t enough to turn me away, as I had never had this particular beer of the north. Pours a pale yellow-gold with a fizzy white head. The aroma is putrid- skunk and more skunk, with some grass and garbage. Flavor of sweet and pale malts, sugar, corn, grass, and straw. Light-bodied, with high carbonation and a crisp, grassy mouthfeel. Not good, disappointing even for what I expected.

Has neither malt or hop characteristics. Typical bmc alcohol delivery unit drainpour. Pours with a slightly brownish tint. Tastes like diluted apple juice. Awful!

Bottle @ home. Nothing like rating a new top ten favorite beer then tasting this piece of gerbil feces. Golden yellow, clear appearance with a white head that disappears quickly. Skunky, light pale malty nose. The skunk can be noticed from a few feet away.Skunky, sweet pale malty lager flavor. Bland, crappy lager.

Why waste time money and effort brewing something like this? Come on! What is the point of a lager anyway. Most have no flavor and taste like ass. I think this is the last lager I ever rate. Unless I get one from a far away country.

Bottle states Lager. So, AB of Canada, eh? Bright yellow. What a skunky aroma this thing has! Straw up close, Waft of skunk from a distance. Very sweet. Lingering lager aftertaste. This is a beer that causes the non-beergeek to HATE beer...

341ml Bottle in Powassan, Ontario 07/11/2010 Fruity hop aroma. Some carbonation. Clear golden coloured pale smooth on the palate and hoppy with a hint of dryness in a malt finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear light yellow with white foam. Smells lightly hoppy similar to a pils. Tastes lightly malty, with hints of pilsner-esk hops.

On tap at Mike’s rehearsal dinner, poured into a pint glass...Piss colored with very little carbonation...The aroma and taste are both skunk, and lots of it. I can pull a little grain and corn, but nothing good. I try to drink this and I could only drink about half of this. This is not very good or worth trying.

Green bottle served in a lager glass. Pours watery, pale yellow-orange in color with a short, thin white head. Faint corn aroma and not much else but a little skunk. Light sweet and soft bitter flavor. Light body, fizzy carbonation, thin texture, and a clean bitter finish. Not bad.

Bottle. Time for big skunk, kids -- this smells like mating time at Pepe Le Pew’s Maison d’Amour. Pours typical pale and fizzy -- the head lasts a decent amount of time, though. It tastes like slightly bitter club soda. If the skunk is the biggest animal on the block, something is WRONG with your beer.
