They call this a "Canadian-Style ale". What? Might as well make up your own style if you can’t make it fit into another. Buttery aroma and malt. Harsh hop bite and not enough malt backbone. Yellow and fizzy. Bad.

On draft, the second ahead of my lobsters.... snore. Pour was straw colored, about no head, and about no lacing. The aroma was caramel and earthiness. The flavor was caramel, toffee, honey, some cereal. Where are the hops, did they leave them out entirely? Mouthfeel was sweet and sticky, carbonation the only thing breaking up the maltiness. Snore.

Bière de type ale de 5.1% d’alcool, ressemble beaucoup à la molson export ou molson dry, semble un peu anesthesier le palais...pas vraiment un bonb goût...décevante.

growler pour, I’m not sure if I got a bad batch but this beer was a dyacetal bomb. very buttery. Other than that it was golden with a light white head. Grainy.

12 oz. bottle. Pours golden with thin head, which does lace though. Grain and floral hops. Sweet with slight bitter finish. Just okay.

12oz bottle. Pours clear pale golden with white head. Aromas of cereal grains, sweet malts, spices, and some yeast. Flavors of sweet malts and cereal grains, and some light spices. Finishes sweet yet has some sort of writers bitterness. Forgettable.

Light amber with two inch white head. Some lacing. Aroma is vegetal, herbal. Taste is very middle-of-the-road. Not bad for a golden or pale ale. Probably right on the button for this type. Good session brew. Hops are present but subdued. Overall a sweet but flavorful drink. Very slight bitter aftertaste.

Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Medium amber brew with fast thinning head. Nice aroma of roasted grain, light malts, and grass. Taste starts with light grains and fruit overtones. The swallow ends with a bit of astringency and a lingering roasted malt flavor. Not bad.
