On tap. Pours a pale amber with light head. Aromas of… well nothing really. Maybe some biscuity malts. Flavors of sweet toffee, fruit candy and biscuity malts. A sweet pale ale. Drinkable but not for ordering again.

Has okay foam and deep clear gold body. It smells like soft grain left behind the dishwasher. Taste is okay sweet grain, soft caramel notes. Ends very smooth, soft carbonation, reasonably crisp. It's forgettable, but it's the kind of beer you buy by the case for a backyard bbq and it's fine that way.

Sampled in Regina on tour with the band. Golden colour, white head, average retention and minimal lacing. Malty nose, malty taste from the 2-row barley. A little sweetness lingers. Refreshing cold, easy-drinking but nothing overly exceptional.

Draught. Pours a clear gold with a small, short lived, white head that left spotty lacing. Mild aroma of corn and a hint of grass. Sweet flavour of corn and light malt with a mildly bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Boring. More closely resembles a pale lager than an APA.

On tap at Tony Roma’s, Banff. Pale clear yellow pour with a small white head that is quickly gone. Nose is corn and light malts and taste is basically the same. Light mouth with soft carbonatio, Meh.

Tastes like another average lager. Better than the black label at the Cambie here, but not really worth the extra $2 for a pitcher though. Pours blond.

Draught at Malone’s Urban Drinkery, Vancouver
Blond color, with creamy head (nitro-like). Remarkable for the near-absence of aroma and flavor, very water like; smooth.
