Aroma: Slightly skunky smell. Some dusty, bready notes.

Appearance: Light golden body. Completely clear. Lots of carbonation. Thin head that quickly dissipates.

Taste: Crisp taste (much better than the aroma, thankfully). Very easy to drink.

Palate: Very thin mouthfeel - it’s as weak as water. Nice carbonation.

Overall: Not as bitter as other pilsners I’ve tasted, but this is a good ’go-to’ beer. Despite its musty aroma, it’s very moreish. Plus, the packaging is very cool.

Not a bad pilsner for a Canadian brew company. Taste shows a bit of hops, thought nothing out of the ordinary or anything. On tap at the Georgetown Inn in Canmore

Canette 500ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de céréales sucrées, moyen de pain, léger de houblon herbeux aux notes florales avec des notes fruitées (agrumes sucrées). Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et croustillant ainsi qu’une texture aux notes crémeuses et aqueuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle avec des petites notes de riz bouilli et de fruits (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de céréales fraîches avec des notes de pain puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (gazon et herbes fraîches) aux petites notes florales. Post-goût moyen-court, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec de faibles traces fruitées (zest d’agrumes).

Foamy white head, rich yellow color, moldy flavor, mild carbonation, abrupt finish. Nice pilsner.

On tap somewhere in the Kanata area. Okay amber-orange body with modest on-tap head as you’d expect. The flavour is quite hoppy with a bit of a malt finish; not quite a pilsner, more of an English bitter or an amber lager; drinkable nonetheless.

Can, 5%. Clear golden colour. Very small stable white head. Grainy flavour. Slightly vinous with a faint hint of aroma hop.

On tap at the brewery. Super hot day before blue jays game so this was refreshing. it pours a pale gold and is very clean somewhat watery. taste is somewhat grassy and maybe corn? anyways fine beer for free tastings.

Served in pint glass @ a bar in Toronto. Nice golden-straw color with a pure white head that lingered. I sense some hay in the nose - and well-rounded deep malts. I gets lots of grain with this beer and am surprisingly happy with the aroma. This is a crisp pilsner that impresses me. True to style.
