473ml can. A macro European style lager done by a Canadian craft brewer. Colour and taste we more bold than a typical North American lager and less skunky than many Euro imports. Body was smooth, but a touch thin. Overall, a satisfying lager.

473ml can. Cloudy yellow liquid with medium white head. Aroma of stalled water and boiled eggs. A sour taste with the same spring water taste. The worst from the package.

Smells like sugar water, slight sweetness. Pours golden with a small fizzy head. A kind of clingy weird palate that sticks to your mouth in the wrong kind of way. On tap at teds collision.

Originally rated August 2004. European style lager, craft brewed for the smoothness" is written on the bottle. Pours a golden colour with a good white head, and a great amount of lacing. Low on carbonation and a malt scent. Mildly bitter with a sweet (caramel) aftertaste in the back of the tongue. Wellington’s least good brew, but still a good summer beer.

Clear and non-impressive. Pretty much mainstream with not much here. A decent lager but nothing special.

Another day, another lager.... I often wonder about the appeal of a microbrewer making another lager in this world. Unless you’re convinced you can create the most spectacular lager in the universe, why bother? There are so many other kinds of under-attempted beers out there! Unless you have an obsessed regional following that you can get away with it, it seems like such a waste of time. Yet still I’m intrigued to know if this lager will be "the one" that blows the rest away. Poured into a lager glass at 5.0 celsius it has a pale bright yellow body and barely any head on top. Soft corn and sugar aroma. The flavour is a very light mix of corn and malt with a dry finish. Very light and easy to drink, hard to pick out of a crowd. And so, the quest continues.....

On tap at the brewery, served in a tasting glass. Pours clear pale golden with a moderate white head. The head fades to a thin remnant and leaves a trace amount of lace. On the nose, there is light grain and flowers with a touch of pine. The flavour is lightly bitter and lightly sweet throughout. On the palate, it is light-medium in body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Overall, a fairly bland light lager. 2011-10-08

341 ml bottle purchased from the Wellington Brewery in Guelph. Pours pale yellow with a thin white cap. minimal hops or malt. somewhat sweet. pretty generic ’premium’ lager.

473mL can poured golden color with about 2 fingers of head settling to minimal lacing. Pleasant aroma leading to a lightly sweet and moderately hopped lager. One of the better lager beers I have tried.

Can. Poured a golden color with an averaged sized head. Aromas and tastes of grains, some floralness, and lighter bread.
