500ml can. Typical clear golden pour with a small white head. Aroma of sweet cron, cheap grains, and wet cardboard. Whoa! the flavour is f’ing awful. Wet cardboard, sweet cheap corny grains, and some nasty cooked rotten vegetables. holy hell this is awful, drain pour allthe way

Can. A clear, pale golden beer with a small, off-white head. The aroma is rather weak, but some grains, hay and corn escapes the glass. It’s faintly fruity on the palate, thin on the palate, and soft. Grains, some notes of corn and fruityness and a touch of hay in the flavor. Maybe some bitterness too, at least in the finish. Fortunately it doesn’t smell of taste much, as what is isn’t very interesting or good. 150618

Can 473ml @ Hotel room, Comfort Inn Downtown, Washington, DC
Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, corn and hint of sulphur. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long corn and slightly fruity finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Big fucken can @ the rake dungeon via Secret Krampus. Thanks! Pours a light yellow appearance with a white head that dissipates pretty quickly. The aroma is much like Miller Lite - lots of corn, grass, and hay - maybe a touch of grape drank. Moderate carbonation. Moderate high sweetness. Low bitterness. Dull grainy flavor with maybe a hint of metal. Not horrible but I’d probably take a Miller Lite over it.

Canette 473ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de légumes bouillis sucrés, de grains de malt pâle sucrés, léger de maïs sucré avec des notes chimiques sucrées et quelques traces herbeuses (gazon mouillé). Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aqueuse et aux faibles notes huileuses. Goût de légumes bouillis sucrés avec un léger goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un moyen goût de maïs sucré puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût métallique et chimique avec des traces herbeuses (gazon mouillé). Post-goût court, composé d’un léger goût chimique sucré.

For this rating - a 900 milestone - I decided instead of rating the beer, I’d let the beer rate me. It was difficult at first to communicate with the beer, but after some deep thinking (read drinking), I came upon just the right psychological medium to communicate with the few yeast still alive in my tin can of Laker Ice. Here it is: The guy drinking me seems to turn a pale colour after taking his first sip, almost deathly if I had to choose an adjective. He smells a little drunk - I feel like I’m not being accorded all the proper respect due to a beer that rates in the tenth percentile of the distinguished category of pale lager. Just think of the multitude of lagers that rate worse than me... His appearance is a little offensive. After sipping, he pulls his lower jaw back in some sort of attempt to close off the top of his throat to any further invasion. He squints his eyes and looks around as if someone else is responsible for this digression in taste. His stomach churns after I flow down his throat, clearly offended by a perceived sense of mistreatment. His palate is pasty - there is far too much slobber floating around in his mouth to make an honest rating here. Overall solidfunk is a bad recipient of the yellowy, high-carbonated bliss I have to offer him in the lager department. A pity.

Nothing better than a random beer in a can from southern Ontario airlifted to the arctic.... price be darned! Looks okay, decent level of foamy head and bubbly macro-lager goodness in the body. Soft aroma of sweet rotten corn stench with barely a hint of cardboard. Flavour has some strong fruity esters and adjuncts thrown in with a citrusy and bitter finish. Dry, at least. While it’s totally not great, it’s much better than the other macro I’ve been drinking up her for the last couple of months (and thus my relatively highy rating might be just celebrating a bit of variety!).

Originally rated September 2005. Bought in the cheapy single section of the LCBO. Pours a golden colour with hardly any carbonation. The white head dissipates quickly and leaves a bit of lace. The nose seems like alcohol, metallic water and grains. The taste is slightly bitter and bites a bit with the alcohol, then goes into this clean dry aftertaste with hints of corn. Pretty refreshing and easy drinkability, but hits the spot... and you feel it without seeing it come.

Golden colour with a super thin white head. Aroma of light hops, metal and malt. Light-bodied; Sweet malty taste-same as any other lager. Nothing special with this one. Overall, not worth trying! I had this bottle at the Winter Party at Oakes' place in Toronto, Canada on 05-December-2003.
