355ml can. Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow with a medium, short lived, fizzy, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of grain, lemon and light caramel. Sweet flavour of bready malt, caramel, lemon and a mild, bitter grass note in the finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. This was surprisingly good, as far as lagers go.

What the world needs is another lager, no actually not, but so far these guys seems to haves some decent game going on so I’d say let them do their thang, maybe a few of them douchebags ’round Grand Prairie in the o’ersized F350s will drink this and become just a leetle more civilized. Like seriously folks, the traffic sucks in said town.... how can a farmer in a truck the size of Luxembourg be in a rush is beyond me. Anyways I tried, poured it somewhat warm (10c) and the head revealed something okay, decent as Bubbles would say, bubbles too on the body and some yellow body. Good lager smell to this - I tend to think of lager aromas in negatives, but this is appetizing, crisp, a bit of hops and well refined (the alternative being urine-soaked cardboard; I’m sure we’ve all smelt that kind). Flavour is unintrusive with little in the way of complexity nor offensiveness; a good lager indeed. A bit of a hoppy bite on the back end. Lagers tend to get a great deal of scorn in these here craft beer hallows but this one delivers well - and would be a pleasure to get drunk with. Here’s hoping it’s the new getting-wasted liquid of Grande Prairie.
