2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pale light golden color, light white head. Typical lager aroma - however, alcohol is most prominent. Slightly sweet flavor, with some trailing hop bitterness. Finishes a bit metallic. Overall. a tad better than the American macros.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Decent lager, malt and bit of yeast taste. Malty sweet. Yellow straw color, lots of head initially that look like soapsuds and then dissapear. A toast crisp dry aftertaste.

While I enjoy some of the other Upper Canada products, I never cared for the lager. Obviously a step above Canadian and Blue, which I can only attribute to the clean, balanced taste, but still not a great beer. I’ll take the Wheat over this when I am looking for something refreshing in the summer.

It was a variety pack from Luc! Ok beer. Clear yellow. Malty aroma. No hops. Clean and well made.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Out of a variety 6-pack provided by Lubiere. Thanks Luc! Clear yellow, lasting white head. Clean malty aroma, malty flavor. No hop character. All malt helps a little, and it is clean and well made, just there is nothing there to make you want to drink another.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pours a light golden color with a barely-there white head. Sugary aroma. Flavor is very nondescript up front with some nasty metallic flavor in the finish. Feels extremely thin and watery. Why the hell is this rated so high??
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. So, the same week that Unibroue gets bought by Sleeman, this stuff shows up in Vermont...coincidence? I think not. I think this is a harbinger of what we have to look forward to. Pale, exceedingly clear lightly bubbly apple juice body, little head. Very very faint corn syrup/urinal cake aroma, yum yum! Sweet and syrupy on the tongue, rather like flattish lemon-lime soda, a bit of metallic bitterness at the end. Drinkable I guess, not really nasty, but flavorless enough that it really isn't much better than a drain pour.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Gold coloured, mild aroma with a bit of a prick. Tastes like a light beer with a tinge of ginger and spruce. Gives it a soda-like illusion, and yet does not have the carbonation equal to a soda. I would have rated the overall lower but the spruce taste gives it an originality I admire.
