Can. Golden colour, bright, nice carbonation, just a thin head but otherwise attractive. The aroma is less attractive, given the acetalehyde/ester stuff and worty malt note. On the palate, thankfully it's more the worty malt that dominates. Not the best pale malt character but better than off-notes, right. Low bitterness - I certainly think a dose of German hops, or a bigger dose, would help out the balance. Falls into that category of better than any macro, but if this is the best beer in this place, I'm drinking somewhere else.

355ml can found in Summerland if I recall correctly. Poured into a Hard Rock Café Vancouver glass it has excellent foam, weak yellow body, strong carbonation, all good things for a lager. The aroma is yeasty grain, cereal, very slight tin, chewy but also appealing. Flavour is very chewy barley, heavy, but flavourful. Mouthfeel is too cloying to recommend - I was hoping for some lagery smoothness. Still my expectations were lower so I'm pleasantly surprised.
