What can i say? Much better than the molson bohemian bullshit i just drank. Kind of makes me wanna fight cops and dance naked. Woword to your mom.

I really don’t get this brewery. I tried this brew about a year back and my tasting notes and memory recall a completely different beer, I remember a quite bitter medium-bodied lager with a good heavy hit of Saaz aroma, the tall can i am drinking now is comparable to the average corn adjunct discount lager. Total garbage for a craft microbrew at $2.65 a can. This wouldn’t be my first time seeing inconsistency in Trafalgar’s brews.

650ml bottle. Golden yellow body with good yellowish head, decent retention. Aroma is mostly floral, hops, bready, a hint of vanilla. Taste is hoppy, bread, some nuts, nice carbonation. Decent.

3 Finger head. some laceing,carbination looks like a pale lager. Smells like a typical skunky macro lager. taste is a smooth cremey butter backround with a light citrus upfrount it sits a bit heavy in the belly. Nothing horrible but noithing great. I think I might have a fresher batch looks lkike best b4 April 10th 2012 cheers.

The pour is a bright straw body with a thin white head. The nose has a definite skunk with a light grassy hop and a big grainyness. The taste is mostly grainy with a blandly hopped finish. A light presence of skunk, but not too bad. This just isn’t that great in my opinion, just kind of ’off’.

bottle. Poured straw coloured with a bit of a haze, Large rocky white head. Sweet musty aroma, but in a good way. Medium mellow mouthfeel. Fruity malt flavour with a tart grassy finish. Lingering medium bitterness.

Bomber of Maple Leaf lager: Medium gold pour with a thick white head. aroma is grainy, sweet bready malt. light grassy hop. flavour is light to medium malt sweetness. Grainy and grassy finish.

Bottle, golden, clear, white foam look, creamy, fizzy feel. Matl Hay smell. Light Acid and Malt taste. No bitter aftertate

For about a day I thought this read "Flora", not "Elora"; labelling fail! It pours foggy beige-orange with no head. Faint fermented grain aroma. The flavour, however, is solid - a good mix of hops and a grainy finish. Not so attractive, but definitely worth the effort.

I cannot say enough bad things about Trafalgar. All malt no hop. Cloudy blahhhhhhh. That should be their slogan. Blahhhhhhhhhhhh!
