(Tap) Pours a golden color with a small white head. Sweet, grainy aroma. Taste is not very offensive, with more body than a typical pale lager. Dry finish. Actually not too bad.

UPDATED: AUG 22, 2007 Clean, light lager. Hoppy and sweet aroma. Crisp and tasty but not too exciting.

330 ml green bottle - Pale yellow/gold. Frothy white head. Thin bodied with low to medium carbonation. Sweet, watery, slightly malty.

Pale yellow in colour with a frothy white head. Thin bodied with low to average carbonation. Fizzy mouthfeel. Light to moderate bitterness. Rather watery and boring but refreshing. Bottle.

[463-20070728] Sample @ LCBO-Summerhill. Faint grassy straw aroma. Clear, pale yellw gold body with a quick bubbly white head. Watery straw flavour. Light body. Boring.

pale golden hue topped with little head, the aroma and flavor are standard macro with slight accent in hoppiness.

From a bottle poured golden with very little head. Not a whole lot of anything going on as far as flavor. Very forgetable.

From a green 330 ml. bottle, no freshness date I could find, sampled in a pint glass. A clear pale yellowish golden appearance with a foamy white head, small amount of ringed sticking. The first thing I noticed in the aroma is the standard sulfur Euro lager yeastiness, like you find in a lot of German macro lagers, followed by grainy sweet malts and a light vegetal hop. Good carbonation and a dry, crisp, firm medium-light bodied mouthfeel, tastes of salty saltine-like maltiness, a thin honey graininess, vegetal hops that get a little spicy towards the end, a dry grainy finish. Smooth, easy drinkability, not bad on a hot summer day. Pretty much your average Euro Pale Lager, better than some eastern European EPL’s I’ve had, with a cheaper price as well.
