The pour gives it a nice head that quickly disapates . A Pale Straw color with lots of effervences. There is little smell, I could pick up a slight hint of citrus, wheat and yeast. It has a yeasty tastes with a bumpy finish Overall it is semi smooth and easy to drink

Golden color that’s dark for a lager. Massive foamy white head. Faint hints of sewage in the corn nose. Despite my misgivings, I take a sip to find a flavor dominated by corn but thankfully none of the imperfections in the nose.

Sample from a rep at the LCBO- A new beer so that’s cool, but I don’t expect anything groundbreaking. Pours sparkling gold with a frothy white cap. The aroma is mainly grainy with perhaps some mild hops, corn. Pretty bland flavours. Light hops bitterness, but mostly sweet grains and corn. Pretty non dememo stuff, bland, boring.

Bottle paid for by Cellz Direct. My place of work. Drinking at my desk on friday, can’t argue with that, even if it is this swill. Left it in the bottle, but it easy to tell this is a pretty clear beer and the appearance numbers won’t be high. Flavor had some pilsner notes with a little stale apple juice and sweet, metalic malts. A tiny, tiny bit of hop bitterness, but that is a stretch. Not a great beer, but drinking it at my desk makes it a little bit better.

My grandmother lived in a house with hundred year old copper pipes: her tap water tasted just like this stuff. No nose to speak of, and a flavor of extremely bland water with a good dose of copper. Mash in a lime, and this crap even manages to absorb most of the lime flavor. At least it was cheap at the biker bar I was drinking in, and didn’t make me gag.

473 mL can. 4.5%. Looks alright; pale gold with foamy white head. Smells like mouldy wet hay. Doesn’t have much taste at all; slightly sweet, no hops, a little tinny. Lime helped. Not a bad golf course beer, I guess. I’ve had worse. I wouldn’t go out of my way to find it, though.

bottle. average, white, fizzy (fully dissapating) head into clear yellow body. aroma is well slightly weird. some plastic?. dry finished. slightly sour finish. Not sure what to think of this one...okay I guess.

Can - 473ml. Boring golden body with average carbonation and an instant-fading white bubbly head. Thin malty/hoppy aroma with light bready notes. Taste is absolutely boring. It carries bad metallic and CO2 hints. Aftertaste is non-existent. Another bland Latin American macrolager.
