COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Imported Saaz hops contribute a delicate aroma to this delightful beer. Light in colour yet complex in flavour, Grand Lager was developed to be the perfect beer for a warm summer day. An excellent compliment is spicy foods

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.

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’.

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.
