Bottle: Poured a golden yellow color lager with a small bubbly head with minimal retention. Aroma of malt is quite weak and no hops are discernable. Taste of weak malt with a watery finish. I know they mentioned the use of European hops in this beer but honestly I could not detect them. Carbonation is a bit low for the style and the body is too watery. Seems to me like this is an attempt at producing a macro-like beer.

Notably bland. Like there isn't enough lousy beer in Edmonton already......
