Nice lager, pours golden, light head, tastes of malts, with a hint of hops in the finish, I would have this again, very drinkable

On tap at Taps, pale yellow gold color, with a ring of white head, light fruity, bubblegum yeastiness, with some faint peach, mango esters, with a faint honeyed pale, crystal malt accent, with a hint of cereal graininess in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp, fruity, crunchy honeyed pale, pilsener malt character with a peachy, pear, mango, mild flowery hop grassy accent upfront, leading towards a zesty, lemony, lingering hop leafy bittering finish.

Some nice grainy malts in the nose. Some pleasant malty cereals in the flavor. A great bready finish. A quality lager.

Sammy (5888) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 15, 2010
On-tap at the brewpub, fresh batch. A little cheesy aroma in hops. Pale yellow body with carbonation bubbles and a little head on. Lacey. Served on the too cold sid, more complex as it warms. Average mouthfeel, maybe even a tad above that. Aggressive carbonation. Decent drinkability. The taste is a tad funky for a lager.

j12601 (4171) - Poughkeepsie, New York, USA - NOV 27, 2009
On tap at Taps on Queens in Niagara Falls. Pours a clear golden amber with a slight orange tint to it. Light caramel and faint grain. A bit thin, very weak grain, and mostly no flavor really. Finishes with some graininess and a faint bitterness. Very watery and empty. Inoffensive, but really rather forgettable.

[2449-20090814] Sample. Mild grainy straw aroma is more stunted than the premium. Clear, light yellow brown body with a quick foamy white head. Mild grainy hay yeast flavour has lots of petrol undertones. Light body is rough. Much like the Premium but with petrol.
(@ brewpub; Niagara Falls, ON)

On tap at the brewery. Pours a headless gold. Aroma is an odd, ale like fruityness. Flavour is more fruit, some citrus, and a dry finish.

Can- SParkling deep yellow/gold with a frothy but short lived white fizz. The nose on this one is pale malts, some straw, biscuit and a bit of lemon. Tastes of sweet pale malts, cookie dough, a bit of lemon, some bread crust with just a little bit of grassy hops. Has a nice biscuity aftertaste with a sharp hop bite near the end. I think this should be classed as a Dort/Helles.
