(Tap) Clear golden. Good white head. Citrus and grassy hop aroma. Lift body with good carbonation. Taste is crisp herbal hops with gentle caramel malt. Very drinkable.

It's too bad granville island couldn't carry over their unique body mouthfeel of their ales to this lager. A bit better than mass produced lagers, slight hoppiness, but still nothing great. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

341 ml bottle. Pours a clear golden with a thin, white head that leaves some spotty lacing. Light hop aroma with some corn. Sweet flavour of corn, malt, grass and a hint of fruit with a dry, slightly bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Pretty run of the mill lager.

341 ml bottle. Pours a clear gold with moderate head of big bubbles. Aromas of grain, light hops, and dust. Flavors of grain, biscuits, grass, and crisp toasted malts. Nice enough.

Granville 12-bottle mixer pack at The Beer Store. Golden and clean, with a big white frothy head that stays long and gives out good lacing. Quite malty aromas at first, but hop comes out with time. Decent grainy malts with rusty hops that balances things. Quite a well-brewed standard lager, with good malts and hops.

This lager poured a light yellow colour with a soapy, white head. To the nose there are scents of corn, cooked veggies and grain. First sip was smooth and watery with flavours of corn and grain. Very boring. Finish is lightly malty with the usual corn flavour lingering.
