On tap at the Brewery in Toronto. The best description I can give is that is like a slightly more hoppy Rolling rock. Not bad at all, miles better than Budweiser, Miller or Coors. Better than Labatt Blue. Overly expensive though.

Dec 26, 2009 Can into a pilsner glass. I have had this before from a bottle and on tap too. It has a nice clear golden straw colour with frothy head. The aroma is hoppy and a little sweet. The taste is bitter with lots of hops present and is good. As well it is light with a bitter finish. I really like this pilsner and recommend it for those who enjoy pilsner beer.

Dec 11, 2009 Had it on tap at the brewery and in the bottle. Much better on tap! Very nice aroma, what you would expect of a pilsner. Golden colour with a nice head that lasted throughout. A hint of bitterness at the end, very easy drinking beer. One of my favorite Pilsners and I am an Abbey Dubbel guy.

Dec 9, 2009 Served in pint glass @ a bar in Toronto.
Nice golden-straw color with a pure white head that lingered.
I sense some hay in the nose - and well-rounded deep malts. I gets lots of grain with this beer and am surprisingly happy with the aroma.
This is a crisp pilsner that impresses me. True to style.

Nov 17, 2009 distinctive aroma of hay and straw which many find offputting. I’m on the fence. Pours bright golden color, drinkable but has a very strong aftertaste. Good if there’s not much else around.

Oct 31, 2009 341ml bottle poured into a Pilsner glass. Poured a clear yellow with a 1/2 head. Left a thin cap and little lacing. Looks pretty average. Aroma has a good balance of grain sweetness and hop bitterness. Like the aroma the taste is a good balance of sweet malts and bitter hops. Not an aggressive or strong flavour but certainly better then most macro Lagers/Pilsners. Good carbonation, light texture and crisp finish. I could drink only this for hours. (And I have.) This is one brew that can regularly be found in my fridge.

Oct 11, 2009 Let me begin by saying I am not a big pilsner fan. Steam Whistle is beautiful and crisp, whithout being painfully dry. A little rounder that most pilsners. Perfect picnic/ball game beer.

Sep 30, 2009 On tap at the brewery, bright honey gold color, with frothy white head, fresh cut hay and straw nose with a grainy, pale, plisner malt accent, and a floral hop spicy herbal aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp, fresh cut hay, faint honeyed pale, pilsner malt character with a nice flowery hop citrusy, grassy, saaz hoppiness, leading towards a clean, floral hop dry hoppy finish.
