Originally rated June 2006. This one pours a golden colour without the copper hue of the Lakeport Ice (that I just finished). White head that is bigger and leaves much more lace, all around the glass and quite thick. Same heavy carbonation. At first, the nose is grainy with slight sourness, but then, the alcohol comes out to haunt. Smooth watery mouthfeel. At least the alcohol is not present in the taste, and there are no burns. Mild corn taste with a little sweet finish that turns into a very light grainy aftertaste. Prefered the Ice over this one. The True North Strong is a better strong beer. Overall, I’ll take Lakeport products over Laker, for swill with just a tad of character.

Bottle: Poured a pale yellowlager with a goiod size foamy head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of loads of adjunct. Taste is also dominated by adjunct with some gross sweetness and some alcohol ester. This is worse then I had anticipated – beer to get drunk cheaply to I guess.
