Great! Did not expect to find such great pilsner taste in Canada. Of course best ratings in all categories and highly recommend to make the tour in the roundhouse!

pours a crystal clear straw colour, with a creamy head and some lacing. The aroma is of corn, wet hay, sweet malts. The tasting notes include crackers, corn, light caramels, water, slight carbonation and a dry finish. I am not a huge fan of the style, this beer is no different. Very very light, and boring. I think I would prefer a glass of water to this beer!

Bottle in Waterloo, Ontario, 1st May 2013, best beer of a bad bunch on a poor evening selection. It has some flavour, a step up from the mass produced stuff, not my style

canned. a gift from Canada among other beers. this wannabe pilsner is overall not that bad. an industrial beer that has one purpose only: kill the thirst. and I think it does that well. a beer-like aroma is almost not present. however it has a nice shiny golden color! no head. the taste is a bit hops, malt, low bodied, low bitter finish. however, it tastes very refreshing. definitely a brew ideal after work-out instead of some yucky sugared soda or pure water. with each sip this "beer" becomes quite enjoyable. in its category of industrial beers this brew is not bad at all.

Of the less than average pilsners in Toronto, this is probably in the top fifth or so. Light, pretty refreshing and sessionable. A little musty in the aroma with a bit of a floral aroma.

UPDATED: APR 15, 2013 the Beer is nothing special. However it is a Pilsner so it is what it is. It is not a beer you will remember but comparing to just other Pilsner it is not the worst out there. Better then a Molson Canadian or Labatt Blue. Nice little brewery and offers a enjoyable tour of the brewery, it is located in perfect tourist area and just outside 2 major sport stadiums location in downtown Toronto. I just wish with steam whistles location they could make more then just 1 beer to show not all beers in Toronto are gold and fizzy.

Had this on tap at the brewery for free. Pours a clear golden color, white head. Some noble type hop notes. Clean and refreshing. Not bad

Clear golden with a thin frothy white lace. Typical pils aroma and flavour is not overly sweet. Nice and refreshing with a crisp finish.

Can, drank from can. Light earthy hops with crusty bread, graham cracker, and a bit of toffee and orange zest. Lightly bitter clean finish. Not bad.

Pours clear golden, with a moderate head. Crisp hoppy taste, with a similar aroma. Very drinkable pilsner.
