JoeMcPhee (7618) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 30, 2004
Pale yellow colour with a white head. Typical Russell earthy aroma, honey sweetness. Caramel/toffee malts with musty/earthy hop characteristics. A bit underattenuated but almost enough bitterness to balance it out. Would like to see a touch more hops, but still a pretty good brew.

335ml can. Pours a slightly hazy, slightly orange yellow with a good sized white head. A pretty good looking beer. Lemony sweet aroma with similar flavour. Light bitterness in the finish. Not too bad, don’t know where the honey comes in though.

reebtogi (3259) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - APR 17, 2012
355ml can pours a pale straw color with a 2 finger white head that dissipates quickly to a few spots of lacing. Aroma is light grains and hops. Taste is grainy malts and undesirable hoppy bitterness. Nothing stands out in this one, just a typical macro lager quality to it.
