473ml can. Pours a clear gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy pale malt, faint caramel and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, faint caramel and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Malt forward and crushable, but nothing special.

Office Friday drink at Clearly, draught
Blond colour. It's sweetish, which adds some body too, better than some dry and weak Lager; it's mildly fruity, which is also appreciated, and the bitterness is not too low.
Simple; but I'm ok with this one.

Clear gold body with modest foam. Aroma is weak caramel, taste is sweet caramel, ends smooth. Drinkable I guess but very boring.

On tap at Vancouver Island, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of corn and straw, pretty clean and filtered. Flavour is along the same lines, with corn, straw and biscuity malt. Clean and easy to drink, but now exciting can this be. Boring.

Medium golden colour. Light aroma, mainly grainy. The flavour is fairly grainy as well, with a slight grassy note. Standard, uneventful lager.
