2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Originally rated January 2009. This light Canadian beer pours a pale yellow colour that is slightly unfiltered and has a small white head that has not much to show for (weak retention and lacing). Very lightly carbonated. The smell though is quite nice for a light brew. Not typical with some bread malt aroma. The mouthfeel is not as watery as I would of expected. Again, the malt shows up in the taste, with some biscuit flavoured malts. So, light beer yes, but above average in this category and accomplishing what they wanted... a micro made for lawn-mowing.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Surprising amount of flavour for a light beer. Very smooth, easy to drink and perfect for sitting around at the cottage out on the dock.
1.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Typical yellow pour with little head. Sweet hoppy scent. A touch wheaty. Grainy wheat taste in the mouth. I expected better. Taste is acidic and unbalanced. Flavourful for a light beer, but unfortunately I don’t like the flavour.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Surprised by all the critical ratings on this one, I actually think its quite good for a light beer because it actually has some flavor. Pours a golden color with white head, smell is not pronounced but I think it has a pretty good citrusy hop flavor to it, especially for a 4% beer. I would definitely buy this again. Especially versus one of the horrid macros out there. Maybe I’m just easy to please :-)

355ml bottle, clean yellow gold color. with a fluffy white head, mild pale malt, cut hay nose with a hint of honey sweetness, with some light floral hop note in the aroma follows through on a light-bodied palate with a crisp earthy honeyed pale, toasted cereal malt character with a buttery nuttiness accent, with a hint of candied citrus and a light flowery hop grassy note, leading towards a faint honeyish malty, lingering hop bitterness finish.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle - 355ml. Hazy blond body with a thin white creamy head. Fair malty/hoppy aroma with bready and honeyish hints. Taste is rather thin and is slightly dominated by hoppy flavors. Ends with a short, bland hoppy/herbal finish. Lager people will like it.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at K-W Ribfest and Craft Beer Show. Pours a clear straw yellow with smallish white head. Light, sweet fruity and bready aroma. Flavour clean with fruity sweetness, bread and some light grassiness in finish. Nothing spectacular but fine.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
A light golden ale with a thick receeding white head. Aroma of biscuitty malt and sweet corn. In mouth, a rather mundane ale with light malt, faint hops, light chalkyness, lighter bodied. Bottle from LCBO,
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
On tap, oddly enough, at Kings Buffet, Cambridge. Pale yellow, minimal head. Not a lot of flavour, but not inoffensive.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Mild malt, slight bitter finish. Kind of acidic and stale tasting. Pretty poor stuff.
