Pint @ Pink Bicycle. A fine lager. More body than your typical macro lager. Finish is kind of weak.

Lagerboy (666) - British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 1, 2011
Some lagers taste better from the can, and this is one of them. Standard, easy drinking lagerboy fare, ideal for mass consumption. It is what it is...

On tap at The Podium, Victoria. NFL Sunday!!! Standard lager fare, clear golden, lasting whipped white head. Slightly sweaty grainy aroma, clean grainy palate with a subtle fruit accent. Decent enough for draught in a sports bar.
