as far as plae lagers go, this actually has some flavour! Imagine that!
Some sweet malt notes, and a touch of hops, dont get me wrong, it’s still a Labatt product, and thats abundantly clear, but it’s not bad, and drinkable.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a hazy golden yellow color with a fast rising carbonation trying to fill a rapidly dieing bubbly head. There was barely any lacing.
The smell had some cooked corn.
The taste was sweet through the cooked corn.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. It comes across fairly smooth and crisp.
Overall, nothing wrong and there’s nothing really out there that makes this one stand out.

Bottle. Pour is a pale and fizzy gold with doughy malt and grassy hop aromas. A touch of pepper in the aroma, too. Taste is a nice mix of pepper and grass hops presence hovering over a soft texture of light malt. (Wow... that’s really bad, but I’m going to leave it.) This is pretty good...

Slight sour milk and cooked bread yeast aroma when you twist off the cap. Ubiquitous american lager color and appearance. Some mild lager industrial bite but for the most part, this is fairly enjoyable and well mannered, for a lager lover. Nice tingly carbonation. The finish is processed and clean. After taste impressions of flat metal.

2004 bottle. Wow. Really excited for this one. . . but it’s all my friend had, so I figured I’d give it a whirl. Weak light gold, yellow color, very bubbly and clear with a light white head. Aroma of water, light grains. Flavor starts out with maybe what could be called a brief, crisp bite of hops, but then it quickly runs in to a heavy dose of sour tasting adjunct flavor. Muddled, cardboard and wet wool finish, tons of water and too much carbonation, almost stinging from the amount of artificial C02 in here.

Wasn’t too pleased with this one, despite low expectations. Pours a clear golden color with small clusters of bubbles. Medium white head that did not last, and very thin lacing. Light aroma of hops and fruit. Light-bodied and bubbly with weak hops, malt and sour fruit flavors. The finish is lightly bitter with lingering fruit again. Not a big fan of this one.
