Crystal clear pale gold. Skunky noble hops, pale lager malt sweetness. Fairly clean lager malts, a bit of odd fruitiness/apple towards the end with even hop bitterness. Not the worst thing ever.

Pale yellow with a small head. Not too gassy for a lager. Slight malty aroma. Light malty flavour.

Originally rated November 2006. Bought this one at the LCBO as a Christmas gift pack. Came as one bottle, with its big brother, the Lion Stout and a glass. We get both under the name Sinha, and the ABV here is 4.8%. Pours a rich golden colour with a nice creamy-foam white head. Retention is poor, but lacing is decent and carbonation is average. Aroma of grainy malt and some light fruit. The smell and taste are very pils-like. Very refreshing and good malt. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but a good decent lager.

Bottle from the Cave. Clear golden colour, large white head. Nose is light malted, a bit grassy. Flavour is light malted, fairly hopped. A bit watery, but ok drinkable.
