wow, this is BAD!
Ok, seriously, a clear bottle!?!? when will breweries learn!?!!?!! Right off the bat, i get a wonderful nose full of SKUNK. Aromas of creamed corn, butter, and some nasty cooked vegetables. FLavor is corny, andf rotten. Holy hell this is BRUTAL!

(Bottle) Clear golden, good head. Subtle but pleasant aroma. Light body with good carbonation. Taste is pleasant lightly sweet malts with some hop bitterness for a fairly crisp finish. Overall a decent lager.

Pours amber with a large, lasting head.Nose shows hay, sweet cereal-like malt and corn. Not bad but not what you’d call nice either.Similarly sweet flavours, more hay and cooked vegetables. Pretty much no bitterness. Cloying.Could use more carbonation.

Originally rated July 2009. Came in a 6-pack at the LCBO and enjoyed the first four bottles at a jam. Was pretty decent, and now testing it in a glass. Pours a clean golden colour with lots of carbonation (bigger bubbles than average on the side and bottom of the glass). Big creamy-foam white head that stays a while and leaves beautiful lace. The malty nose is much stronger than normal swill beers, so that is a good start, with notes of bread. Crisp mouthfeel with a mix of sweet malt and biscuit malt (that is pretty tame), and has the hop showing up in the aftertaste. The flavour gets better as the brew warms up a bit. A much better lager than most mass-produced products, that is not offensive for drinkers of those beers.

Bottle from a Cost Plus/World Market Beers of the World Box. Pours orangey gold with a big frothy white head. Smells like very light caramel. Med body. Flavor is light roast caramel. There’s also either some vanilla or a trace of diacetyl or something of that sort. Actually coming on buttery,so likely diacetyl. That’s not bad here- sort of comes across as butterscotch. Interesting and acceptable.

11.2 oz bottle. Aroma is extremely sweet caramelized grains. Smells somewhat like a Sam Adams Boston Lager, maybe a little sweeter. Pours golden with a medium dissipating head, decent lacing. Taste is sweet. Medium carbonation, creamy mouthfeel, watery finish. Not bad, but it seems like a direct ripoff of Sam Adams’ flagship brew, which is itself something I’ve never been all that enthusiastic about.

Clear glass bottle. Terrible corn nose. Urine colour, no head. Almost lucky that it has no flavor and is pure water from here on.

Bottle courtesy of Irondjin: Poured a deep golden color lager with a big pure white bubbly head with average retention and some good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with no adjunct detected. Taste is dominated by some sweet malt with no noticeable hops which could have increase the profile of this beer. Body is average for the style with some good carbonation. Overall, not a bad attempt but lacking some element to makes this truly interesting.

Gold with lasting off white head. Slightly off corny nose. Clean flavor, brief finish, basically a macro. Nice lace. The original was better

Bright golden colour with a creamy head that coats the glass the whole way down. Slightly fruity, straw-like aroma with hints of hop. Sweet, creamy body with fresh white bread notes. Fairly soft body with a quick finish. Here’s the deal - doing basically the premium macrobrew thing without delving into the usual sucktitude. Not my beer, but evidence it can be done.
