650 ml bottle - pours a very slightly hazed straw gold with a thick white head that soon settles into a thin surface layer. Sweet, grassy aroma, wet hay, blueberry and green apple. Flavour crisp and snappy, but also fairly full-bodied. Starts with a mild bitterness then quickly transforms into a complex malty package with a slightly sour-apple/bitter finish. Good one.

Clear golden with a frothy white head. Slightly sweet caramel and apple nose, with a similar flavour but with a nice mild bitter malt/hop aftertaste. One of the better lagers.

Bottle: Poured a clear bright golden color lager with large foamy head with average retention and some lacing. Aroma of light malt with no discernable hops. Taste is also dominated by some lightly sweet hops with no easily detectable adjunct. Body is quite lively with some good carbonation. Easily drinkable but not very complex or enjoyable for that matter.

bomber form the LCBO. this rating is on the second pour after the beer had warmed a bit, when cold it was all apple. pours a slightly hazy golden with a nice white top. steady, soft carbonation. aromas of bready pils malts with some floral hops. the taste is similar to the aroma. the finish could be hoppier but overall this is a well made lager. i proabaly wont buy more at $6.35 a bomber but that doesnt mean this brew is lacking.

Pours a light clear gold with a wisp of head. Medium-light body. Aroma is clean and fresh, with malty-bready grains and herbal hops. Flavour is very moderate hop bitterness, a touch of honeyed pale malt, finishing on a long enjoyable classic lager finish that balances crisp and sweet with no excess dry feeling or off flavors. As far as a decent easy-drinking lager goes, this stuff is the cat’s meow.

Pours a straw yellow with a thin white cap. Light Bodied. Aroma is light, floral hops, grain, some odd malty sweet note, and what I would say is maybe pumpernickel loaf? Flavour is very light hop bitterness, a touch of malt honey, finishes on an odd apple peel dry sourness. As far as a light easy drinking beer goes, this sucker is the bee’s knees.
