Formerly known as Sparkling Ale (6/05)
A golden export-style ale made from only malt and hops, no fillers or adjuncts. A brillant golden colour gives a “sparkling” appearance as the gas escapes from the glass. The natural sweetness of the malt is perfectly balanced by the bitterness derived from the hops. This beer represents the way blonde ales were made 100 years ago.

Sampled from the tap at the Pearson location. Pours a clear yellow with a white head that dissipates completely. Aroma has lots of straw with hints of corn and grains underlying. Flavor has lots of straw and hay with not much else.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a hazy yellow-gold color with a small foamy white head that let minimal lacing. The aroma was tart and spritzy with a bit of lemon. The flavor was tangy, tart and sweet with lemon, sugar, yeast and a bit of cardboard. Medium length finish. Light body. Ok.

Originally rated July 2006. New at the LCBO, pours a golden colour with lots of active carbonation. The white creamy-froth head dissipates very slowly and leaves pretty good chunky lace. The nose is big on grain malt and has a touch of sweet malt. Creamy and watery mouthfeel that is clean and crisp. Bread is present in the taste, with some mild corn and graininess. Slight bitterness in the finish. Great everyday ale, made specially for the mass-market.

This is pale to the point of creepyness and the only thing making it look palatable is a half-decent head. The aroma is that ammonia-urine smell you get from the bargain basement beers. Flavour is a mix of cloying grain and sweet malt mixed together with a wet finish. I’d like to say this stuff is good, a cut above a gutter beer, but I’d be wrong by saying that. Sadly.
