TipsyMcStager (830), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Aug 22, 2006 blech...Shaftebury is becoming quite adept at brewing alot of crappy beers. Rubbery aroma, mild yeast flavour. Flat finish, kind of tangerine like. Avoid. DuffMan (2139), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Aug 4, 2006 Deep yellow gold, foamy white head. Stale aroma, a little wet hair too. Somewhat sweet, definite pale malt, mild bitterness. More to talk about than most macro pale lagers, but still pretty avaerage really (not BAD, just average). presario (2499), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jul 2, 2006 Wanted some lower alcohol than the heavy hitters at home. I was actually looking for the Pinkus blue label and found a six of this. Not a bad idea since my keg ran dry yesterday. Dark gold hue. White head and a film lacing. Sort of a light creamy grain aroma. Full body for the style. A bit of a sturdy hop flavour around the edges and finish. A bit of sweetness and OK as it warms. First comparison that comes to mind is Maverick. A drinkable pale lager. Crit (2258), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Dec 21, 2005 Cloudy pale gold, small white head.Corny/grainy nose. Sweet corn/malt flavor with an odd bitterness in finish(not hops) HazelRah (276), Summerland, British Columbia, Canada Aug 8, 2005 Poured a sunlight blonde with effervescent head. Lace was barely noticeable as I took a whiff of lawny hops. Even at warmer than average temperature the mouthfeel was rather plain, but I guess that was the goal. Some sweetness comes through after a few sips, but it’s a clean sort and not overpowering in the least.
