COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Stratford Brewing Company’s signature beer is Stratford Pilsner. Brewed in traditional style using all-natural ingredients, Stratford Pilsner is as smooth and graceful as the swans floating down the Avon River. Golden amber, crisp, and always fresh, it’s a beer that you’ll enjoy anytime, any season. Stratford Pilsner is brewed in small batches in our Stratford brewhouse by brewmaster Alan Peterson. We use only the finest malt, yeast and hops and follow traditional methods of brewing to produce a first-class pilsner. Stratford Pilsner is brewed using Stratford water, which is drawn from deep rock wells that are cased in bedrock.

Bottle. Pours a rather bland gold. Somewhat bitter grassy hops. Wheat... Fairly bland lager. Would’ve scored it lower, but the hops seemed more noticeable when I had another bottle...

Bottle The Emmet Ray, College Street, Toronto. Pours golden amber with medium, fast disappearing head. Fruit notes in faint aroma. Slightly acidic, pronounced carbonation, quite full bodied for the style.

probstk (1911) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - APR 12, 2011
341 ml bottle in a 6-pack from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.

App.: Clear golden with a so-so white foam. Aroma: Biscuit, cereals/grains, some fruitiness, light caramel and maybe a little butterscotch, a little toast, seems too fruity and Ale-like for a Pils. Palate: Medium body, moderate effervescence and a bit of Pils smoothness. Flav.: Biscuit, toast, caramel and a hint of butterscotch, apple juice, vague fruitiness, not getting much in the way of hops, a touch metallic; dry with a touch of bitterness and a biscuit and lightly fruity finish.

Too must Ale character, in my opinion. Misses the mark.

Zenwolf (257) - Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 1, 2010
Bottle. Very disappointed in this one. Went looking for a “wedding beer” to serve to non-craft drinking guests.. the nose is horrid and the taste wasn’t much better. Pours a pale fool’s gold with very high carbonation. Clean tasting, but with a bit of fruit and grape. Slightly sweet with a wood like dryness.

Spab (1118) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 11, 2009
341 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a clear bright yellow/gold with small white cap. Sweet malt prominent in the nose with some citrus. Flavour is fairly sweet, lightly biscuity with some very apparent cirtus hops. Crisp citrusy finish. Nothing special.

I was surprised by the crisp taste of hop and the finish of malt. I was pleasantly surprised by this beer as I was expecting terrible and got mediocre. But that’s where is stays.
