22 oz. bottle poured into lager glass- poured transparent thin golden yellow, white head formed and stayed for a few minutes but eventually went away, medium carbonation of small bubbles, aroma of light hops, grass, and weak wheat. HIts the mouth with a thin body, the malt is very light but easily detectable, a few hops on the finish. Ok brew, drinkable and balanced.

22 oz can at a Vietnamese restaurant in Philly. The beer pours a clear yellow with some carbonation and white head. Nothing at all is offensive about this beer. Easy to drink as well.

spikester (602) - Salem, Oregon, USA - FEB 21, 2008
Light copper-golden color with a fluffy white head. This was poured from a sturdy 22 ounce aluminum can. Surprised to find this is brewed in Canada. Nice sweet maltiness with slighty bitter hops.. A nice beer that is at least one step up from American macros. I enjoyed it quite a bit for a lighter (taste-wise) beer. Nice dry finish. Recommended.

Meh. Better than the Yebisu Mellow Premium but just the same nothing special. Solid lager though. Sapporo got some skills. 16oz bottle from Don Quijote(Honolulu) formerly Daiei. NOTE: I actually had this beer a long time ago in the more typical can as pictured here in the profile. When I picked this up I was not aware it was the same thing as the new bottled version uses completely different labeling.

BelgianBeerGal (2105) - Dayton Area, Ohio, USA - FEB 8, 2008
Can. Pours a clear, amber colour...darker than expected. Light carbonation and no real head. Aroma is all sweet malt, maybe hints of caramel and hop. Mostly hop flavour but finishes with a strange, flat bitterness.

dyetube (984) - McKinney, Texas, USA - FEB 7, 2008
this beer pours a golden yellow with a thin tan head. Not a whole to say about this, the aroma is skunky and bland. the flavors pretty much agree with this. This was not a good ber, but I did find it easy to drink... Won’t get this one again. Cheers

JoeMcPhee (6835) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 5, 2008
Pale golden, thick white head. Fine carbonation. The aroma is lightly herbal with a nice noble and floral hop aroma. Light biscuity malts and a soft creamy palate. Minerally bitterness. The beer is actually quite balanced and tasty. One of the better things to come out of Guelph in quite some time.

Can, shared by my roommate. Nice yellow-gold clear pour with some foamy white head. Aroma of slightly sweet corn malt and some eastern european hops. Flavor is the same, slightly medicinal / herbal tasting. Would have been even better on a hot summer day.
