Nice clean blonde ale. I wouldn’t say it’s anything like a german. But it’s an easy drinker. Sk LB

33 cl bottle at Fairmont Palliser Hotel, Calgary. It pours clear greenish golden with a short-lasting, snow-white head. Aroma is stale bread, rust, rotten lemon. Yuk! Fizzy and light-bodied, yet tasteless, watery, short-lived, bah.

330ml bottle. (5% ABV) Pours a clear pale gold with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Mild aroma of bready, grainy, wheat malt, generic orchard fruit and yeast. Sweet flavour of grainy, bready, wheat malt, vague orchard fruit, a hint of lemon and light yeast with a slightly dry finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Very underwhelming.

341 ml bottle. Clear golden colour with small white head. Aroma is wheat with some fruit and grass. Flavor is the same with a slight citrus finish. Watery and kind of boring.

Bottle: Clear, medium gold...small white head. Wheat, grain aroma. Taste is sweet, honey-wheat malt... Very plain..more like a better-than-average pale lager....not very wheaty, really.....more a grass/straw base. Doesn’t taste bad, at all.....just quite forgettable......not very lively.

Clear yellow with a small white head. Nose is very faint tofee and grain. Slightly sweet and a bit crisp. Thin mouth with average carbonation. Inoffensive and uninspiring.
