COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Remarkably smooth for a full-flavoured beer. Our founder’s intention was to combine the refreshing taste of a German lager with the distinctive taste of an English Ale without blending the two.

Bottle. Buddy brought it back from Canada. Basic, bland lager aroma. Clear light gold with a good-sized, frothy head and nice lace. Very basic flavor & blah. Tastes a bit like Coors, but not as good. Dry with a bit of a harsh bite.

Not my favorite, but definitely worth trying if you’re trying to cross over to the other side, from domestics to REAL beer. It isn’t actually very creamy in flavor, but it seems sort of lager-ish, in my opinion. It is lighter in body with the refreshing flavor of a lemon sorbet. It finishes with just a hint of vanilla.

The aroma has a smooth cream flavor but the taste is just a little too bitter for a cream ale. I’m not saying that this beer is unpleasant but I expect a very smooth malty appeal in a cream ale, and this just didn’t have it.

Very nice, quite sweet and creamy in fact. Good foam, a little too colder when I drank it, but very bubbly and amber.

Draft. I agree with alexanderj on this one, although i do not agree with his preference for overweight women. Dry-lager like flavor, no creamy mouthfeel.

Pretty poor beer, for the style and in general. Crappy lager like flavor, without a creamy body. Looked the part at least.
