I tried this beer on May 8, 2008 after purchasing a couple of bottles from the Queens Quay LCBO outlet (one was given to lenusik). The beer poured a very pale golden yellow with a bubbly white head that quickly disappeared. The aroma was very sick grainy malt with a slight hoppy hint. The mouthfeel was medium bodied. The flavour was very grassy.

Amber lager with small frothy head. Hoppy start with lingering bitter finish. Dull.

Can. Golden colour with a medium sized white head. Malty aroma. The flavour is malt and corn with hint of hops. Some bitterness in the finish.

Big very white head. Yellow body with carbonation. Fruity straw aroma with grassy notes and some malts. Sweetish grainy straw and chalk taste with grassy vaguely alcoholic notes. Slightly harsh, yet faintly oily, mouthfeel. Light butterscotch. Dryish milky grassy aftertaste. Not bad. (0.5l bottle, Alko, Helsinki.)

Oh sweet boredom, so run of the mill that I wish the mill would stop running. Corn and grass, watery stuff.

Canned. Very pale yellow colour. White, medium sized and soapy head is fast diminishing. Aroma is sweet, lightly malty and has a hint of grassy hops. Flavor is medium sweet, light malty and dries up towards the very light bitterness in the finish. Palate is light bodied, fizzy and int finish certainly not fresh. A very basic bulk lager.
