We often enjoy this while we’re in Canada. It is pretty light bodied... a fairly decent session beer.

very refreshing good canadian beer good on a hot summer day on a patio light in color strong in taste.

Light and clean, but very crisp, a acidic lemony zing, with some biscuity maltiness. Finishes kind of chalky and sour.

Sampler at a beer tasting at <a href=http://ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/orland-par Orland Park. I found this to be pretty nice "snack" beer. Light in color and body, of course, but crisp, with a bit of lemon amoung its pale malts.

Pours clear gold with a white fizzy / pillowy head. Carbonation is very active. Aroma is clean malts with faint spicy hops. It is medium bodied with lots of fizzy carbonation. Starts off smooth with creamy taste and some hops, then the carbonation takes over all of the taste and the finish has light spicy hops and sourness. Further down the glass the sourness of the finish mellows out, becoming smoother on the finish, but it is still way overcarbonated. It appears I like this better than most, but you could still do much better for the money.

Pours a fairly deep golden with a thin but persistent white head due to a continuous stream of bubbles. Corn adjunct nose. Thin sweet maltiness and adjunct taste without any discernable hops or other flavors. As others have suggested, this is a very pedestrian macro-style lager.

This is a nice looking beer. It is clean and crisp looking with not much foam. I poured it hard but nothing much came up. Aroma is corn and grass and that pretty much sums up the flavor as well. This could be from any of the macros.

UPDATED: MAY 3, 2006 Poured from bottle. Grassy wine aroma. No head to speak of. Light malt flavor with some hops in there. Bubbly feel, but with a dryness I liked. Finished ok. Really not that bad, but def not a great one.
