Quite forgettable in the grand schem of things with a bit of head and okay yellow body. Modest hoppy notes. Drinkable but impossible to remember from a bazillion other lagers. No idea why you would call this "premium".

A light golden lager with a thin white head. A light corny adjunct aroma with light metallic hops. In mouth, a boring lager with light malts, some honey notes, grainy, nothing special.

Pours light yellow with a bland aroma. Mild hoppy flavour with nothing standing out.

Gold with samll white head, neutral nose. Reminds me of the beers made during the dry beer fad years ago

Draught at The Railway Club, Vancouver
Blond color, thin creamy head. Light aroma. But the flavor is quite interesting, not bad at all, a Lager with light residual sugars and some cereals.

Golden colour. Clean, straw-like malt notes are the main feature, alongside grassy, slightly earthy hops. Bitterness isn’t a big factor but balance is good. Not killer, and too light for my personal tastes, but probably the best-constructed of their beers.
