500 ml can from the lcbo.
Golden pour, big fluffy white head.
Aroma of toasted grains and slight cooked vegetables. A little watery, and a very low bitter finish. A little corny in the end. Meh, lawnmower beer.

From old tasting notes. Bright gold color. Rocky white head. Zesty malt aroma. Initially, a bittersweet toasted malt flavor pervades. It quickly dries out and becomes clean and crisp. Long dry finish and aftertaste.

Pours a clear golden yellow, topped with a medium white forthy head, no retention almost. Malty aroma, some grassy hops as well. Taste starts with a short sweetness, crisp body, a bit grassy awith ok bitterness in finish. Nice for a lager, refershing.

Weak white head (I was tempted to type "shite") and clear yellow body. Soft aroma of sweet hops. Flavour is mostly corn with a slightly hoppy finish. Lager-y indeed but it doesn’t rise above the back. Decent, though.

From a mixed pack of Irish beers. Typical commercial lager nose. Fermentation grains and added sugars. Average strenght. Visual: Gold blond, clear and sparkling. Average thickness head, rocky, with a good lasting. A slight lacing sticking to glass and leaving some traces. Taste: A thin watery texture is announcing the start of a deception. Cereals are showing up after, but without any conviction. We can feel fresh bread accents, a slight buttery caramel; all that with an absolute discretion. Balance is weak with a moderate carbonation. Hops are almost absent. Une bière commerciale peu intéressante mais qui n’est toutefois pas désagréable.
