growler from the brewery. Nice bright golden pour, with a small white head. Aroma is quite grainy, with lots of corn, and some sweet malt. Flavour is again quite grainy, with some big corn notes, with a touch of hops in the end. A good session ale.

Draft - Sweet malts and som corn. Pale clear gold with a small white head. Sweet corn, apple and pale malts. Much too sweet and light.

Draught at C’est What, Toronto
Light amber color, clean. Light aroma of paper, corn, malt, cereals. Crispy mouthfeel, but the flavor has accents of cereals and hay, a bit strange; ordinary bitterness.
Simple beer, but not too bad.

Purchased a 6-pack of this at the LCBO. Pours a slightly hazy golden colour with a tad of amber. Average size white cap that disappears quickly but leave a creamy top and lacing around the glass. Grainy nose with some bread notes. Slightly crisp, slightly watery mouthfeel and medium-bodied. Cereal malt taste with hints of caramel in the finish. Not much hops found, but this is what makes this "stock ale" refreshing and a great session brew.

This ale poured a light yellow colour with a white head that doesn’t last very long. First sniff came up with pineapple, sweet malt and a little apple juice. First taste was pretty smooth and had a nice round mouthfeel. A little watery but still good. You can taste the pineapple just a little. Slightly floral and hoppy but not too overbearing. Palate is slightly bitter.

Light golden colour with a smallish white head. Aroma of american hops, but very light-with not too much else. Light-bodied; mild maltiness with some citrus hops and some cardboard flavours intertwined. Aftertaste is mild and not showing much either. Overall, a decent beer, but really nothing special. I had this on draught at a small pub in Toronto, Ontario with Jon (JONR888710) on 09-April-2004.

very light hops to the nose, very thin in the mouth with some hops, a little malt...may be a good lawnmower, but not much more...

Light amber colour; lightly malty accent; lots of Fuggles; fairly light interpretation of the style.
