Light amber colour. Light pale malt, fusel and grassy hop aroma. Mild bitterness from noble varieties, light pale malt sweetness and macroish acidity on the palate. Why are so many macrobrews tart like this?

(22oz can) First off, I find it hard to believe that I’m drinking a beer from a can -- I mean, it’s a cool looking can, but it explicitly says it’s a "Malt Liquor." Big white foamy head atop a crystal clear straw body. Aroma is mild sweet, grassy, cereal. Taste is mild sweet, cereal up top, before turning mildly bitter grassy mid-tongue and into the swallow. Watery body.

Clear, straw-colored lager with a medium-sized, fizzy, white head. Malty, floral aroma. Thin flavor. Light-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Boring.

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.

Big ass silver can. Sweet corn and honey aroma, somewhat of a starchy, rough palate with flavors of corn husk and raw grains (straw?). Finish is mildly peppy, yeasty. Not bad, not exciting though.

From a 22 oz. can - it poured a dark yellow color with an impressive, frothy white head. It’s got a mild, sweet malt aroma, maybe a bit grassy. The flavor is good clean malt (no adjuncts) with a nice balance in the hops. Clean, crisp finish. Nothing special, but not bad.

Light golden with a fizzy white head. Bread dough aroma, with only a hint of hops. Sweet start, with flavors of cream of rice, for lack of a better grain description. Light floral bittering hops later in the gulp. Very fizzy in the mouth.
