Walkerville Brewing Company Reviews

fhoublon	3.5 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Bouteille de 341 ml achetée dans une LCBO de Ottawa. Dégustée le 23 août 2008. Bière ambrée limpide tirant sur le orange. Mousse assez, col moyen assez durable. Peu effervescente, bulles moyennes. Odeur de sucre brûlé, de caramel. Très douce, assez sucrée, un peu amère en finale. Goût de caramel, de céréales. Très bonne, savoureuse et bien équilibrée, se boit bien. Monday, May 5, 2014
Lenusik	1.7 Walkerville Superior Light I did not like this beer at all. A very pale orangy-gold colour with very little head. The aroma is slightly skunky with a lot of off notes. The flavour was a mish-mash of malt, hop, and sour vegetables. A pretty poor effort for a light beer. Monday, June 24, 2013
Lenusik	3.6 Walkerville Premium Blonde This is far and away the best of the Walkerville beer line. A nice clear golden ale with a short-lived white head. The aroma was grainy malt with a nice splash of hops on the nose. The flavour was refreshing with a nice malt bite followed by a bitter finish. Monday, June 24, 2013
Lenusik	3.9 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager I wasn’t expecting much from this Amber Lager, a style that can be hit and miss and in Canada, can generally be all over the map. This one pours a clear amber with little head. The aroma is caramel malt with some hops in the air. The flavour is malty with a hint of hops and plums. Unlike some other Amber lagers, this one doesn’t fill you up (ala Alexander Keith’s Red Amber Ale) Monday, June 24, 2013
reebtogi	3.4 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager 341ml bottle pours amber in color with a finger of creamy white head that leaves some thin lacing on the glass. Aroma is light caramel and hops. Taste is caramel matly sweetness with a pleasing hop bitterness in the finish. Light to medium body and ample carbonation. This amber lager was definitely a pleasant surprise. Thursday, March 8, 2012
Spab	2.6 Walkerville Superior Light 341 ml bottle (from dusty 6 pack at Crossroads LCBO... wonder how long this one has been sitting around). Pours a very lightly cloudy yellowish golden colour with thin white head. Aroma has lots of caramel malt, grains and a bit of sourness. Flavour has identical profile. Body is lightish but not too bad for 3.9%. So so but better than I’d anticipated. Saturday, March 12, 2011
silvorgold	2.1 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager very strong flavour, bitter, very noticeable aroma compared to most domestics Sunday, July 26, 2009
VertBaconStrips	3.8 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Holey crap! This is one awsome brew! Poured a nice thick, solid white head similar to a Caffreys or Kilkenny on tap, nice light amber/orange colour, decent tiny bubble carbonation, floaties that never settle and a decent ammount of brown sediment blobs. Seeing that sediment dump into the glass came as quite the suprise. Produced a consistant solid ring of lacing thoughout the tasting. Aroma is sweet and malty. Something seems odd about the breadiness, so I read the other reviews and I gotta agree with Pootz that its "musty earthy bread dough". Nice hops as well. Taste is similar to the smell but is lighter on the breads and comes with a perfectly balanced bitterness. Flavours do not overcome the other qualities of the beer. Mouthfeel is almost medium bodied, extremely smooth with a better delivery than most beers and has a nice creamy soft light bitter finish. I need more of this. I got to say that I had my doubts about this beer, considering that I bought in Dauphin, Manitoba and it was a single (the only one in the store).Excellent beer. Sunday, June 7, 2009
mabel	2 Walkerville Premium Blonde [1581-20080810] Tap. Sweet yeast aroma. Clear, pale orange yellow body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. Light sweet grains and yeast flavour. Light body is grainy. Poor. (@ TFOB 2008; Toronto, ON) Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Gypsy19	2.5 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager A decent lager. Good hoppiness for a lager. A little citrus as well. Better than most lagers. Worth a try. Sunday, August 17, 2008
mabel	2.9 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager [1265-20080406] 341mL bottle. Yeasty alcohol and grains aroma with toasted malt. Clear, amber orange body with a long-lasting foamy off-white head. Yeasty grains flavour with watery plastic notes. Medium body is a little watery. Not bad, nice yeasty finish. Monday, August 4, 2008
blankboy	2.5 Walkerville Premium Blonde Bottle courtesy of GregClow. Pours a clear bubbly pale gold with an average size frothy white head. Mild aroma of grain, very light hops and some vegetal notes. Watery flavour is lightly vegetal with some mild grassy hops, bready malt and a quick light bitter finish. Average bodied. A little too carbonated for my liking. Meh, it’s not bad but it’s only average at best. Monday, July 14, 2008
Kevman	3.6 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager I was born drinking walkerville.. It’s a local beer where I live, so it’s fairly easy to come by at events. I had it on saturday at the Greek fest from a keg trailer. it came out a dark orange, with a medium tannish head. The aroma isn’t very strong, but there is a light smell of hops and malt. The taste is where it’s at, strong hops and a nice sweetness. I’ll buy it from now on, but it’s difficult to come by. Monday, June 30, 2008
Barnabus	2 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Bottle. Amber colour with sparse head. Aromas of mainly malt, yeast and a little fruit. Medium-light mouthfeel with corn and slight hop aftertaste. Nothing terribly different. Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Kevman	3.7 Walkerville Premium Blonde As said previously, pale yellow, frothy, finishes with a hop flavour, goes great with fish. Tuesday, June 3, 2008
wilderthanyou	2.9 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Pours an orangey amber with no head. Aroma is almost non existant, mostly just malty sweetness. Flavour is not bad, some graniness, malts, a tidbit of hops. It’s an OK beer, if nothing else, its atleast refreshing. Friday, May 30, 2008
ILduce	2 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager 341ml Bottle: Amber with almost no head. Sweet fruity aroma. Flavours of malt, biscuits and metal. Thin, Off-dry. Unsavoury overall. Wednesday, May 28, 2008
cyrenaica	3.4 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager 341ml bottle 5.0% ABV I tried this beer on May 2, 2008 after purchasing a variety 6-pack of Ontario Craft Beer from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent red-tinged golden colour with a generous white head that quickly dissipated. The aroma was slightly malty, a little tinge of hops, and a lot of mustiness as stated previously. The beer is thin to medium bodied with ample carbonation. The flavour has a slight sweetness to it, a little bit of caramel malt, and a little hoppish character in the end. Tuesday, May 6, 2008
lowg	3.1 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Pours copperish, medium head. Aroma is a little citrusy, a little sweet with some graininess. Taste is okay; smooth and clean with a bit of a citrusy bitter finish. Beats a macro by a mile, a pretty good Ontario craft brew. Friday, April 4, 2008
blankboy	2.7 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Bottle. It’s never an exciting time when rating yet another Ontario Lager but here goes anyway: Pours a clear orange with a small diminishing white head. Mild but inoffensive aroma has some hints of honey and fruit along with the requisite grain and very light hops. Flavour’s light and watery but not too bad: Caramel malt, a bit of fruit, grain, light hops and a mild bitter finish -- nothing bad here but could use more flavour. Light to average bodied. I’m relieved that there’s nothing bad about this beer (no skunk, no "fakeness", no overabundance of rice etc.), it’s just a clean, relatively well done -- but dull -- Lager. Friday, March 28, 2008
IrishBoy	2.9 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager 341 ml bottle from HogtownHarry; Thanks 16 kilos worth! Nose of grain, caramel, grassy hops , and a hint of vanilla; orange with a medium off-white head; flavor of caramel, apricots, and light sweetness; finish is sweet with a tiny bit of hops showing up! Wednesday, March 26, 2008

AWS9	2.8 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager 341 mL bottle. Part of my Ontario discovery pack. Nothing of particular note regarding the aroma, fairly straight forward hops with some malt. Malts seemed to dominate the flavour to me, almost tasted like a dark lager to me. Not well balanced... The finish is fairly smooth. I might need to give this a re-rate at some point, I don’t trust how much malt I tasted... Tuesday, January 1, 2008
garthicus	2.1 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Bottle - Ontario Craft Brewers 6 pack, it has a sickly-hop aroma and a slight sweet flavour with a hint of honey, nothing special, nothing memorable Friday, December 21, 2007
yarry	2.8 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager 341ml bottle, 5% a/v From the Ontario Craft Brewers 6 pack Pours a gold honey colour with a lovely tan head. Aromas of nice roasted malt with some hoppy bitterness. The taste is smooth and sweet with some bitter hops and almost a sweet corn flavour. Odd bit of taste but a sweet honey finish and a decent mouthfeel help redeem this brew. Wednesday, December 12, 2007
JaPe	3.6 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Really lively carbonation. Good strong lager flavor with honey aftertaste and honey color Slight bitterness. Very good. . Friday, December 7, 2007
JesseM	2.2 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager 341ml bottle from my Ontario Craft Brewers mix pack. Pours a nice amber-gold colour, with a small surface film of a head. The aroma is sweet, caramel like, with some hops thrown in. The taste is the same, but with some grass, and something weird in the finish that brings back terrible memories of Taps Premium Lager. The aftertaste is decent with some sweet caramalts, but I can’t quite get over the strange unpleasantness that reminds me of horrible beer experiences in the past. It’s that weird plastic-like taste that comes through half way and into the finish. It has a negative effect on the mouth-feell as well. How does that happen? Odd. Maybe the quality of this beer varies from bottle to bottle. Whatever the case I’m not all that impressed, and I consider myself a lager-lover. Kind of a shame. Tuesday, December 4, 2007
probstblueribbon	2.4 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager 341 ml bottle in the “Ont. Craftbrewers 6-pack” from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass. NO23/07 App.: Clear deep golden, moderate white head. Aroma: Light bread and biscuit, more cereal and grain, a touch of funk; boring. Palate: Macro medium body and carbonation. Flav.: Biscuit and bread, light funky hops. The bottle indicates that this is a winner. It didn’t win me over. Sunday, December 2, 2007
VeloVampire	2.9 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager 341 ml bottle from the Ontario Craft Brewers Discovery Pack - pours a clear light amber with a bountiful off-white head. Really nice grassy noble hop aroma and some sweet malt to balance. Clean and fresh in the mouth, with some light graininess adding to the hop profile. Nicely carbonated. Simple, well-crafted lager tat would be a treat in the summertime. Friday, November 30, 2007
robinvboyer	2.2 Walkerville Superior Light Another Ontario pale lager, Joy!! very vegetal, corny aroma. Flavour is much of the same. Not really any hops to speak of, slight maltiness, but nothing more. Meh, very passable beer. Tuesday, November 27, 2007
robinvboyer	2.6 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager amber/orange color. Aroma is a cheap grain, cooked vegetables and caramel. Flavour is very grainy, with a sweet finish. this is not very pleasant. finish is kinda like sweet corn. meh, not my cup of tea. Tuesday, November 27, 2007
Gpnterojd	3.1 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Pours orange with a thin head. Aroma of corn, peachy malt and inklings of hops. A sweet, fruity - nay, peach taste reaps its surprised welcome. This is actually quite nice. Somewhat light bodied -- probably medium for a lager. A slightly tart and quite lager finish rounds off the beer. Tuesday, October 23, 2007
tomthompson89	3 Walkerville Premium Blonde pale yellow color, nice frothy head has some sweet malt on the nose, malts and a touch of hop finish, ok drinkable pilsner Saturday, September 29, 2007
barncatmatt	2.9 Walkerville Premium Blonde 341 ml bottle. pours yellow with a small white head. malt and hops in the nose. flavours are well put together to make this an enjoyable refreshing brew. you can tell this brewer takes their time and doesnt just crank their stuff out. overall a pretty respectable effort. Monday, September 17, 2007
barncatmatt	3.2 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager 341 ml bottle. pours amber with a small white head. mostly malt aromas but a few different malts for sure. some small hoppyness in the nose as well. flavours are mostly malt but some hops contribute to the clean finish. i could drink this one all night. good work walkerville. Monday, September 17, 2007
patrick767	2.5 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager draft at Windsor casino under the name Legends Lager (confirmed that it’s the same stuff and is commonly known as Walkerville Lager) - Pours gold with a white, one finger head. The light aroma is mainly grainy malt. The flavor light malts and a little mild hops that provides adequate balance. It’s on the thin side and while it’s an ok, easy to drink beer, it didn’t impress me. Wednesday, August 29, 2007
Eructoblaster	1.7 Walkerville Premium Blonde Bottle - 341ml. Boring golden body with good carbonation and a thin white frothy head. Fair malty aroma with bready and herbal notes. Its malty/hoppy taste is rather thin and lacks complexity. Finish is almost non-existent. Far from my idea of a good Pilsner. Monday, July 9, 2007
robinvboyer	2.3 Walkerville Premium Blonde pale gold color, not much aroma, slight corn notes, and a tad bit of malt. Mouthfeel is pretty thin, and wattery. meh, nothing special. Friday, July 6, 2007
TheJester	3.1 Walkerville Premium Blonde 341 mL bottle. Slightly translucent and pale gold with minimal head. Mild aroma; sweet malt, maybe a little grainy. Very smooth, nicely carbonated. Not a lot to it, in terms of taste; malt, just a little hop flavour near the end. A little sweet. Not much finish. Not bad, for an Ontario pilsener. Great summer beer. Friday, May 4, 2007
KingofCastle	3.5 Walkerville Superior Light bottle: Thanks to Lord Beamish for this from his pilgrimage to Walkerville Brewery. Again, he hits the nail on the head: for a LIGHT beer, this is superior (as the label boldly declaires). Are all the reviewers here mad? It is a light beer, of course it will lack some flavour, but it has way more flavour than any light beer I’ve ever had! Just enough hops bite and some famous Walkerville sweet malts to really round out the flavour. Thiis is the best light beer I’ve ever had & isn’t that bad compared to normal beers. Comparing this to a full bodied ale or bitter is just missing the whole point. Wednesday, March 14, 2007
LordBeamish	3.4 Walkerville Superior Light bottle: I picked one of these up direct from the factory in Windsor, Ontario. It’s a bold move to call your beer ’superior’ but when you produce award winning beers like Walkerville, you can justify the name choice. This is clearly superior to any light beer on the market. Having said that.....it’s still a light beer. Pours a beautiful deep golden colour with a thin white head. Some lacing is evident. It looks delicious. A sweet hops aroma leads to a pleasant mouth feel. Tastes somewhat sweet and finishes silky smooth. Surprising body for a light beer. This tastes very similar to its big brother beer, Walkerville Premium Blonde. Why everyone is roasting it remains a mystery to me. Maybe Walkerville doesn’t run enough commercials of scantily clad women or run a Maxim Golf Tournament like another light brand I know. Bizzare. Wednesday, March 14, 2007
mnurda	3.3 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Nice bitter finish with good carbonation. Quite liked it. Didn’t know we could get it in MB. Sunday, March 11, 2007
Lubiere	2.3 Walkerville Superior Light A lightly veeled blonde lager with a thin lacing white head. Light caramel adjuct aroma, boiled corn. In mouth, a light chlaky malt taste, no hops, light and innoffensive. Malty mineral water. Friday, March 2, 2007
Lubiere	3.2 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Golden amber lager with a thick dissipating white head. A rather biscuitty malt aroma, a bit hoppy and roasty. In mouth, a good clean biscuitty malt with czech hops signature, nutty notes, a bit metallic, medium bodied. A good lager, better than I remembered. From Probstk, Oct. 2006. Thursday, March 1, 2007
Lubiere	2.7 Walkerville Premium Blonde Lightly hazed golden lager with a thick creamy white head. A chalky cereal aroma, with light boiled vegetables. In mouth, a mineral chalky lager, lightly sweet, faint hopping, biscuits. Medium bodied. From Probstk, Oct. 2006. Tuesday, February 27, 2007
mabel	2.1 Walkerville Superior Light [111-20061121] 341mL. Musty, slightly burnt aroma. Clear, light orange body with many fast-rising tiny bubbles throughout and a quick foamy white head. Bready fish flavour with a light metal and slightly slate watery quality. Tingly tongue feeling but nothing important. Not terrible but not good either. Sunday, February 11, 2007
shintriad	1.7 Walkerville Superior Light Apparently, Walkerville was known for its beer quality around the turn of the century. Okay... They claim no adjuncts as well, but I detect distinct corny notes. A bit of grass and much malt for a lite beer in the nose; flavour-wise the sweetness is very apparent right off the bat, weak body and some astringency in the finish. Gets points for appearance: golden yellow with decent head and even a touch of lacing. But the imbalance and thinness make it an unpleasant drink overall. Friday, January 26, 2007
BINGEBOT	2 Walkerville Superior Light Extremely light in colour and body. Not much to it in terms of variety of taste. Very distinct smell, hops, grassy undertones and malt. It claims to have yeast as well, but it’s not very prevalent. Overall a very weak beer that is slightly more interesting then it’s mainsteam counterparts (Budweiser and the like) Friday, January 26, 2007
Precept53	3.5 Walkerville Classic Amber Lager Very nice malt, some what heavy texture, well crafted beer and a gem that I can only seem to find in the Windsor, Ontario area, will drink more often. Wednesday, December 27, 2006
probstblueribbon	2.6 Walkerville Premium Blonde Med. golden colour, white head is fairly tight, but fades fast. Cereal nose. Fairly high carbonation, typical of N. American high volume products. Mouthfeel isn’t bad. Little malt flavour, no hop flavour or aroma. Alcohol comes through. Friday, October 13, 2006
