Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass most of the time but has been consumed from a pilsener glass as well. The one noticeable differences between the two glasses was a slightly larger and longer lasting head in the pilsener glass.
The appearance was basically a light ruddy orange color with a quickly dissipating head. There wasn’t much lacing whatsoever.
The smell had a stale bready maltiness running about it with some light apricots in and out.
The taste was semi - sweet through the malts and basically just let the apricot blend into a disguised fruitiness.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a semi - sessionable quality about it. The carbonation finishes very smooth.
Overall, not a bad beer just not exactly a go to, though I’ve never been a fan of the smell of this one.

On tap at AirCanada Lounge YYZ. Clear pale gold with a big white head that leaves some nice lace.Nose is grains, corn and a bit of grass. Light sweetness with even lighter bitterness in the middle. Medium light mouth with average carbonation. Pale lager. ’Nuff said.

Ok, not the best beer in the world to be sure, and I don’t like Lagers to begin with unless there is something interesting about it. Nothing interesting here, bland watered down lager that has a "fat" mouthfeel to it. Gave me a headache.

Can from Dunnes, Longford [170214]
Light golden. clear, frothy white head, some lacing
Aroma of light sweet grain malts, slight grassy hop, dull nose
Taste of light grain sweet malts, some slight bitter hop in there, bit bitter papery, very dull as usual for this sort of beer but not undrinkable
Palate - Medium carb, light body, bit oily. Finish as main flavour, soft sweet light malts, slightly bitter
Overall - Typical taste for a macro lager but it’s not the worst I’ve had.

On keg @ 442 Bar, Milano - Had this forced on me by a rather worse-for-wear Irishman in Italy. A rather bland, yet tinny, flavour, so much like the many fizzy amber generic beer for the masses in so many other countries. It was wet, refreshing, but ultimately forgettable.
