I tried this beer on March 28, 2008 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent reddish gold colour with a thin off-white head. The aroma was grainy malt, some floral hops, and a nutty tone. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and medium carbonation. The flavour was similar to the aroma, with the grainy notes a bit more dominant in the taste.

Light golden colour with slight off white head. Slight Rotten vegetable aroma. Flavour is a bit rancid, wet bar towel like. Not that great to me, however the body is decent enought.

Past its prime... Clear gold pour fluffy white head, spotty lace and aggressive carbonation. Citrus and cereal aroma. Thin bodied. Lemon, grains, and grass. Slightly sour finish

Clear golden, no bubbles, white foamy head that thins quickly. Strong earthy hop aroma. Crisp, sweet pilsner. First taste is flat but crisp carbonation going down. Low key flavour.

Pours a transparent gold with a thickish white head that was slow to fade. The aroma is citrus and malt, realtively strong. Watery with a carbonation that sneaks up on you. The overwhelming taste is hops with a bit of maltiness that fades pretty quickly into the watery background. A touch of sweetness. Very Drinakble, the only thing that I didn’t like was the watered down feel. Not familiar with the style, so its harder to compare so I will give it the benefit of the doubt.

Happy St Patty’s Day! Oh wait, I’m a little late. Anyhow, this is a pretty decent lager. Far better than the standard lager, this has a nice little bit of floral smell to it with some cereal grains. The flavor is pretty bland, not horrible, but very drinkable. Decent crispness to it though.
