2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
UPDATED: DEC 24, 2008 Golden-straw and sparkling. Fresh corn aroma with hints of grassy hop. Quick. Quite clean. A little watery in the finish. Soft and refreshing for a macro.

Ahh, vitamin O. Pale golden colour, thin white head. Aroma of pale malt, some light fruity esters. Okay flavour, light maltiness with a bit of fruity flavour. Actual perceptible hop character, mostly fuggles (this is a bit deal in Atlantic Canadian-brewed beers). Moderate bitterness. Better than I remembered.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
341 mL bottle via trade with jerc. Pours light yellow with a tiny white head that diminishes to a rocky film rapidly; lots of bubbles. Sour yeast (sweat) and light malt (grassy, grain) aroma with a hoppy nose. Light malt and yeast, grassy grainy flavor, somewhat sour and finishes with low acidity. Light bodied and fizzy palate, crisp finish.

Bottle. Yellow body, small white head. Touch of sweet malt and a surprisingly high amount of alcohol in the aroma. Mild bitterness in the flavour over muted grains. Lingering sweetness in the finish. Average palate. Pretty dull.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pleasant aroma , average head that disapears a bit to fast . Creamy but some could say a bit watery for an ale .
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
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, enjoyed @ Waterfront Warehouse over fresh seafood boullebaise which was phenomenal. The beer was average Canadian lager fare although with a notably light fruity character and clean finish. Forgettable but not nasty. This was my grandfathers favorite when he was still with us, so there is definitely some points for nostalgia and comfort.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
[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.
