Can: Clear gold with a fluffy white head. Grain, honey aroma. Taste is sweet grain malt, a little lemon.... Pretty nice flavour, and the body is fairly robust and creamy. Definitely above average.

Can from Bert’s Pours a bright almost neon golden color with a decent sized bubbly white head. Grainy crackery pilsner malt with a hint of skunk and just a touch of spicy hop. The flavor adds a honey like sweetness and just a touch of sulfur. Decent enough lager, cool that its in a big can, but unremarkable.

330 ml bottle into lager glass, best before 3/31/2015. Pours slightly hazy golden straw color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, cracker, lightly toasted bread, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Okay aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with very poor strength. Taste of lemon, cracker, lightly toasted bread, light honey, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, cracker, bread, light honey, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Good balance and robustness of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Pretty clean on lager flavors with minimal yeast ester notes in the aroma and flavor. Medium carbonation and light-medium bady; with a very smooth, crisp, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 5%. Overall this is a solid pale lager style. All around good balance and robustness of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A pleasantly enjoyable offering.

500ml can. Filtered yellow-tan body. Foamy, thin white head. The aroma is kind of shabby...earthy garbage macro-corn tones. Has a touch of skunky noble hops, which make it slightly drinkable. This is still a weak, poor offering no matter how you slice it, a beer made for bums with no taste. Wouldn’t get this one again.

Light Yellow, Good Head, Some Lacing. Sweet Aroma. Bubbly and Sweet are the characteristics that separate it from the rest of lagers. Average Body and Refreshing. Pretty Decent.

Canette 500ml. De couleur dorée-jaune et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle, léger de maïs et de pain avec des notes de légumes bouillis et de houblon herbeux. Plutôt mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement aqueuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle accompagné de notes de légumes bouillis sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de pain blanc avec des petites notes de maïs sucré puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées et traces de gazon). Post-goût court, composé de quelques traces de houblon.
