Olands Export Ale

Brewed by Oland Brewery (AB-InBev)
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Halifax, Canada

341 ml bottle at Seaside Shanty in Chester Basin. Pours a clear yellow gold with a quickly disappearing soay white head. Sweet corn nose. Flavour fortunately avoids the cloying sweetness and perhaps less corny but pretty bland - maybe a hint of some malt in there. Slight finish. I had worse beers while in Nova Scotia (come on down Keith’s Light), but this is one to skip.

Bottle with lunch on the Cabot Trail. This beer was instantaneously forgettable. Reminiscent of the Simpsons scene at the Duff Brewery when you see the big pipe of Duff being bottled as four separate Duff products. this was basiclally a mix between Bud and Bud light.

[1850-20081103] 341mL bottle. Corn vegetable yeast aroma. Clear, yellow brown body with a quick creamy white head. Floral corn yeast flavour has lots of grains. Light-medium body. Nothing special.

Clear golden with off-white small head. Sweet, almost custard-like nose. Very gassy. Highly carbonated annoying mouthfeel. Strangely sweet and enters a lot dryer than it finishes. Not all that bad, a clean "grampa" beer.

Bottle. Pours a nice, clear golden brew with a pure white head. Nice blend of sweet malt and hops. I can’t comment on the aroma because I was drinking it in 32F weather outside prior to a charity "plunge" into the Chesapeake Bay in my Motherland of Maryland. The bottle I had was smuggled into the US from Canada by a friend.I simply couldn’t smell it - or anything else for that matter!! I’ve never seen it in the US before. Good stuff. Oh Canada! Ya’ll make some dern fine beer!

Pours golden straw with a nice with a bit of a hops hint. The beer drinks crisp and clean with a nice balanced finish.

A Nova Scotian local favorite , it has been my dads choice of beer since the 70s.Nice golden beer! Tastes more like a lager then an ale , A great beer with a little extra zip to distinguish it from other major market beers.

(Bottle) Not much going on...Light golden, small off white head. Aroma has a little bread-like maltiness, that’s about it. Mouuthfeel light, a bit prickly. Taste is lightly sweet, faint breadiness, maybe a tiny touch of strawberry-like fruitiness. Was able to describe a few things here but really this is pretty bland.
