Part of their Summer Craft mixed 6-pack at the LCBO. Pours a golden colour with a big white head, good retention and nice dirty lacing. Smells quite grainy, like some oat, but with a little wet straw. Malty taste with some light honey notes. Nothing too sweet, just pretty malty overall. Quite different malt though, which makes this one unique and interesting.

Draught at The Railway Club, Vancouver. Clear golden. Buttery malt aroma. Sweet with rounded mouthfeel. Some light grassy hops, but plenty of buttery malt. Fairly low bitterenss. A gentle, dortmunder-like lager.

Bottle. Golden-straw colour; light malt nose - bread crust- with light noble hops. Soft body with sweet bready notes, but lighter than the draught, where the bread was very assertive. Crisp finish. Light earthy hop notes. Zippy carbonation. Definitely less assertive this time around, more hoppy too.

Initial rating: Golden colour. Very fresh bread aroma and flavour. Clearn, with a hint of grassy hop. A little overcarbonated, but nonetheless really captures the big, fresh malt character of the style.
